I know that I have been hit or miss with my #fmfpart posts. I really dislike missing any. However, with all that's been going on, I just haven't been able to sit down and write...not even for five minutes! It's frustrating as I feel like I have so much inside that needs to come out yet I just can't release it. Right now, it's as though it's a jumbled mess of words swirling around with no destination to place them. Until tonight... I feel like something is about to come out and I'm EXCITED!!! Let's see what our prompt is from Kate this evening...
GIFT
Remember peeps: 5 minutes, unedited, freestyle writing straight from your heart.. GO!
GIFT
Remember peeps: 5 minutes, unedited, freestyle writing straight from your heart.. GO!
A gift can come in many shapes and sizes. The cost range from money to time to love. It's a gesture or a piece of merchandise. It's a letter or even a sacrifice. Every day that I breathe is a gift and I try to always make sure I thank God for each breath that escapes my lungs. And as I count my blessings, I remember why I have them. Because Jesus, sent down to this Earth to die for our sins. That gift in of itself, is the most precious gift I will ever receive. If Jesus were to write me a letter, I think it'd go something like this:
Dear Shannon,
The moment you were in your mother's womb, I knew the plans our Father had for you. Oh, how I wanted to save you from all the pain and suffering I knew you had to overcome but I also knew you would be safe as I carried you through those darkest of times. I sat beside you as you cried. I saw how you were afraid but acted as though you were bold and courageous. I dried your tears at night when no one was looking. My child, I've been with you the entire time. I'd never leave your nor forsake you because you are a child of God. The love I have for you is immeasurable by any human aspect. And I'd climb onto that cross again for you if I had to. The beauty I see in you is not of this world, but of God. And that same beauty is in each and every child of God on Earth. Look in the mirror, my child, and see what I see...A precious and wonderful gift...You!
All My Love,
Jesus

My friends, that letter goes out to each and every person reading this. YOU are a precious gift to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! We are HIS and will be HIS for eternity!! So, when you're having a bad day and you feel like your self worth is minuscule, remember... HE LOVES YOU!!!! He wipes away all the stains and makes us clean again. We aren't called to be perfect- we're called to be His.
May you find refuge in His arms,
-Shannon
