I would call myself a confident woman. I am secure in my own skin. I've fallen--hard. I've climbed to heights that others would call "impossible." I've looked into thousands of faces and one conclusion I've come to is this: We are all a work in progress. We are continually evolving. And in the midst of it all, there needs to be an indicative discovery--an authentic unearthing.
Lately, my heart has been having this familiar and yet, unfamiliar road of authentically unearthing my heart. I believe in sifting through what is truth and what are lies. And in my experience, this can only be truly obtained through relationship with Jesus and the Holy Spirit. So, in my search, this has been exposed: I only know a facet of what LOVE is--what relationship is.
Discovering love in a heart of another (particularly the opposite sex) has always been a wonderful idea. But it's always seemed unattainable or attainable for some, but not for me. Or--if it did welcome itself at my door, my inner self is what they would be attracted to..not the outside. Or, if they did see the outside, then they would be plainly or average looking themselves.
Yes, I know it sounds strange, but the unearthing has been erupting in my heart. And my conclusion (after numerous days of processing), is this: I am beautiful--inside and out. I am worthy of the one made for my heart. I am confident and evolving, but mostly--resting in the goodness of where my worth comes from: Jesus.
And all of this verbal processing is to communicate this: Jesus knows. He's letting me in to learn to see as He sees (especially myself). He sees the hearts of those around me. And his timing is perfect in melding and molding us together--opening our eyes to truly see each other!
And so, as this process continues to unearth in my heart, I find that I have begun to radiate in all areas of my being. And I feel a deep sense of obligation to convey these thoughts and truths to you. Not for my own exaltation, but for you, my friend, to apply it to your own life. Take the time to truly listen and to allow your heart to be beautifully exposed--uncovered into the light. And may you see there what has been there all along: you are of great worth. God's timing is perfect and his match for you is exactly what you need when you need it.
Forever unearthing...
Hellen
