Do you have those days where things just don’t seem to be going your way?
When you just feel downtrodden and frustrated?

Having one of those kind of days.
Feeling sub-par and frustrated that I can’t seem to deliver anything that satisfies.
Feeling the gap between the expectations and the reality.
Worst of all, just feeling frustrated with feeling frustrated.

Yet I really thank God for someone who put a smile on my face with this:
CLARA JOY YOU ARE SO FREAKING PRETTY AND LOVELY! OMG!

Made me laugh my ass off in the office and put that smile back on my face.
Yes, I’m still feeling that unrelentless headache. And I’m still feeling a tad irritated with the impatience and insensitivity extended. But knowing how well loved I am makes a world of a difference.

Deuteronomy 7:7-8 (NLT)
“The LORD did not choose you and lavish his love on you because you were larger or greater than other nations, for you were the smallest of all nations! It was simply because the LORD loves you.”

God loves you simply because He has chosen to do so.
He loves you when no one else loves you.
He loves you when you don’t feel lovely.
His Love is unconditional.

Even when I feel less than my best, He loves me with HIS best.
That’s all I could ever ask for.

It’s not about how smart I am, or how in the person’s words ‘freaking pretty and lovely’ I am, or how much potential I have, or how quick, how funny, how creative I am. I thank God that God thinks not like the world, that pins my worth on what I can give, but that He pins my worth on His love for me.

Thank you for your reminder, you know who you are. 🙂
