Love and Walls

I need a lot of love right now. 


Love from Jesus. Love from friends. Love from family. Love from everyone.


I guess I was so desperately searching for something, and I realized that I've been "looking for love"... It hit me in an e-mail this morning from a faculty member here on campus. It read this:


Remember, God loves you and so do we - Don't worry about being anyone but who you are!  You may not be perfect but then guess what, the rest of us aren't either - isn't that a shock.


While I don't really see it sometimes, I do know that I'm loved, it just takes extra effort to show it to me, I guess...


Another faculty member shared this with me yesterday. Two verses from Psalm 18 that really helped me. Verses 28 and 29:


My God turns my darkness into light. With my God I can scale a wall.


I've got a big, huge wall, bigger than the wall of China, that is keeping me from feeling good. With God's help, I can scale that wall. With love and support from Christ and others, that wall will be scaled, some day.


I was also reminded that God is working hardest with us when we're facing hell here on earth. It seems as though he's abandoned us, but it is during times like this that He is working most. 


Working in me to show His love. Working in me to give me strength to scale the wall.
