When we try to put ourselves back together after being broken by the losses of this life, we will always fall short. We will never be able to do so as Our Creator originally did. Our brokenness can only be healed when we have faith in Him. We must trust in Our Father who loves us to mend us and make us whole again.
One major step toward healing is realizing that we are, and have always been, beloved by Our Father and He has always wanted a loving relationship with us. Even when we’ve turned from Him, He has always been with us. Even in our darkest times, He has always been with us. Even when we were broken and bruised, He has always been with us. Even when we fail and fall, He has always been with us. He is wrapped around us closer than our own skin. He is within every breath we breathe.
The idea of a distant, alienated Father is a lie. Our Father has never left us, nor forsaken us. Even when we allow sin to overcome us, He is still surrounding us to love and protect us from ourselves. He so loves us that He gave us freewill to ignore Him if we so choose. Yet, even when we do, He never leaves us. Just as we have the ability to overlook or ignore our own breathing until we make the conscious decision to feel our inhale and exhale, we can choose when we recognize His presence, though He’s been there all along.
When the enemy attempts to isolate us and make us feel unwanted, unworthy, or unloved, we can, just as Christ did while in the wilderness, proclaim that Our Father has all authority. His Word tells us that He will never leave us, nor forsake us and He came to us, not to condemn us, but to save us. His love endures forever.
