being known

Being known is very hard. I mean being truly known. So often we use our defense mechanisms to protect ourselves from others by keeping them at arms length. As a result, even those who should be the closest are actually strangers! I am reluctant. Misunderstood. Defeated. Layered. Full. Strong. I have a desire to be deeply known and loved...for all that I am and in spite of all that I am not.

I am so thankful that God created me "wonderful" and loves me enough in my darkest moments to provide the sacrifice which allows me to live in a relationship with Him, to glorify Him. Amazing...that He loved me then and now just as I am, but too much to leave me that way. What a blessing...that he has provided me with the resources, faith, and relationships so that I don't have to go through it alone. As he continues to shape me into who He desires for me to become...

I seek to be known for His glory.
