what love is this?

via we heart it

I guess we all have times in our lives when the moon seems clouded over, and the lights don't burn so brightly anymore. When, no matter how hard you try, you just can't seem to find your place and the path you are supposed to follow is covered in fog. and you can stand on tip-toes, and stretch to see ahead but it's never any use because it seems you are never quite tall enough.
Those times when you tell yourself that maybe.... just maybe if you did something differently, or looked different then they would accept you. That if you did things their way you would be loved and finally told that you were special. accepted.
And it hurts... like nothing you've ever felt to know that still... after so much time they can't see past who you seem to be, and to who you really are.
I guess we've all went through that... but as I was thinking about this, and just having it be constantly on my mind, it was like a light bulb went off. God is for me. and if God is for me, who can be against me? 
                                      so you are eternally accepted in the Father!

so lift up those weary arms and take a deep breath, and let God's love overwhelm you. You are accepted, and you are loved more than you could ever know. I know those times will come again to each of us, but they don't have to hurt as much as they usually do. Knock off their criticism and soak in the promise that nothing can separate you from God's love.
and when you do you'll begin to see the beauty again.... you might have scars, and they might take awhile to heal, but they will. And you will be wonder struck as you gaze at the strawberry-fire sunsets. because you are infinitely loved.
