It took me a long time to learn that the hero I had waited for my whole life, He gave His life for me before I was born. As long as I can remember, I have been filled with such a sense of longing. I saw myself in the story of Cinderella.
I craved escape from lonely feelings that would sneak up on me when I least expected them. I wanted to know what it meant to really feel a secure sense of belonging, one that could not be shaken.
I didn’t know how to hold on to my identity in Christ: beloved, redeemed, forgiven, adopted…I was easily discouraged when I looked at my mistakes. I didn’t realize how often I took my eyes off of Jesus and put them on myself. I didn’t realize I was doubting Him. I didn’t realize that:
doubt of His love for me + doubt of His forgiveness of me = doubt of His Word.
