God always knows what is going on with me, especially when I don't... I've been struggling recently believing a lot of lies about myself, my inadequacy, and certain things within friendships. I feel completely empty. Throughout this I haven't been able to clearly hear God's heart for me or any of the struggles so today I picked up my Jesus Calling devotional in hopes that God would speak clearly to me through it.
"Let Me bless you with My grace and peace. Open your heart and mind to receive all that I have for you. Do not be ashamed of your emptiness. Instead, view it as the optimal condition for being filled with My peace.
It is easy to touch up your outward appearance, to look as if you have it all together. Your attempts to look good can fool most people. But I see straight through you, into the depths of your being. There is no place for pretense in your relationship with Me. Rejoice in the relief of being fully understood. Talk with Me about your struggles and feelings of inadequacy. Little by little, I will transform your weaknesses into strengths. Remember that your relationship with Me is saturated in grace. Therefore, nothing that you do or don't do can seperate you from my presence."
Just as I can feel myself retreating, pushing people away and feeling like I am doing this alone, the Lord reminds me nothing can seperate me from His presence. I am never alone.
