To live like you know you are seen, loved and known, this is joy

Monday Message
Most of us, if we’re honest, have sought the approval and acceptance of another. After all, those are two God-given desires, right? What if we were to live like we believe God has accepted us right where we are at? Would live look/be different for you?
 
Thanks for joining us for Monday’s Message with Abigail Rice and Trench Classes. Today’s poem is a good reminder of how easily it is to slip down that slippery slope of acceptance and approval from others and the destruction that can bring.
 
We desire this perfection
This ultimate connection
 
To feel seen
To feel loved
To be known
 
So we search
 
For meaning
For purpose
For growth
 
When beneath it all
The roots in the dirt
Are rotting away
As we soak up self-worth
 
and we forget we are not worthy
We are not deserving
 
Yet, our Saviour
and our King
Thinks the world of you and me
 
He put on our flesh
and walked in our mess
 
Just so we can know & believe
That His love for us far exceeds
The feeling of worth from this momentary earth
 
Our lives so short
Our breath so quick
Moments go by
And we don’t even realize it
 
Always on this search
Looking for worth
 
But darling the truth is
We are nothing but dirt
 
Our sins so big
Our hearts so fragile
They snap like a twig
 
Yet, we hold on like a branch blowing in the wind
Because I think we all hope for something bigger than this
 
An Eden
An Israel
A place where we can feel
The sun on our face
The soft grass in our tows
Where all we can see is rows upon rows
Of flowers that have bloomed
From those seeds He helped grow
 
All because His love is so surreal
 
A Heavenly King
That believes in you and me
Despite our unworthiness
His love for us outweighs the Universe
 
“Stop regarding man, whose breath [of life] is in his nostrils [for so little time];
For why should he be esteemed?”
- Isaiah 2:22
 
“Some trust in chariots and some in horses,
But we will remember and trust in the name of the LORD our God.”
- Psalm 20:7
