Sometimes I have a tendency to over-think.

I had a lot of ideas about what I could write about tonight…

About my paradoxical desire for community and difficulty engaging in it…

About how God and I talked about being bold and being selfless and letting go of my pride and how so many different aspects of my life are all tangled up in this giant knot that only He can help me untangle…

About how I’m learning about the necessity of transparency within community and how I’m trying to learn how to share better with others…

But then, tonight, I sat down to re-read Searching for God Knows What by Donald Miller. And between laughing at how many things in my life are pointing towards the same lesson God is teaching me and being challenged to go further, God reminded me that not only are we called to love the world, but He loves us as well.

So tonight, I’m basking in the simplicity of the fact that God loves me right now. With all my flaws, all my sins, my imperfections. He sees through it all and loves.

It’s a pretty wonderful thought to sit with.
