Unconditionally Graced



You work hard & you do you best,

because that is what you do.

You don't do it for the attention

or to get the pat on the back.

But then when you never hear the words

GOOD JOB

you start to question yourself

if you are doing a

GOOD JOB,

even though you are working hard and doing your best.

But what if maybe you aren't

working hard enough

or doing your best enough?

As I look back over my life

I was striving to hear the words

GOOD JOB,

but obviously I didn't strive hard enough

because those words were never heard.

So maybe if I

strive for PERFECTION

and if I did everything

PERFECT enough

then maybe just maybe I would hear the words

GOOD JOB.

Striving for PERFECTION leaves you more IMPERFECT

because PERFECTION can never be attained.

What I was really seeking was to hear the words through actions~

I SEE you.

I HEAR you.

I WANT you.

I LOVE you.

But then I realized that in my striving

SOMEONE was always there

just waiting for me to

SEE HIM

HEAR HIM

WANT HIM

LOVE HIM.

So when GOD entered the picture,

my heart heard more than just the words

GOOD JOB

because

I was SEEN and WANTED

because

I was LOVED so deeply,

that it was so incomprehensible.

Only GOD

because

no human being can

SEE us completely

HEAR us completely

WANT us completely

&

LOVE us completely.

So when I feel or you feel as if we are being

unsubscribed

ignored

or

rejected

because

we feel

UNSEEN

UNHEARD

UNWANTED

UNLOVED

we are just feeling our human selves

because

we can't put that expectation on any human

to SEE

to HEAR

to WANT

to LOVE

us completely

because that is a condition that can't be met.

That why

GOD calls it

UNCONDITIONAL LOVE~

SEEING

HEARING

WANTING

LOVING

you & I & everyone else

always~

just because that is who

GOD is.
