Love Letter

He’s been here the whole time

Any of you seen Onward?

It’s a cute movie and my whole family loved it. If you haven’t seen it, go watch it and come back a little later so I don’t spoil it for you…

You done?

You sure?

Okay…so yes, it does talk about magic and witchcraft and all those things that make me sit uneasy, but fastforward over all those parts and go to the end when the younger brother is going through of list of things he wish he had been able to do with his dad.

Remember that part?

Remember how he realized his brother had been there for him for each of those milestones and had been there for him when he needed him?

Yeah, I just had a moment like that.

I was thinking how fortunate I am to have such amazing people in my life. And I was thinking where I’ve been and what I’ve gone through. The ups and downs. Just taking a moment of reflection and wondering why God has put it so heavy on my heart to write this stuff down. What’s the point?

And while looking at this, it dawned on me it is a love letter either to God or from God. A way to give me a new set of glasses so I can see just how intimately involved He has been in my life and so acutely aware of what I needed it, when I needed it. Like the older brother, He has been the one there for me all the time and I’m just now seeing it.

How awesome is that?

Some people are fortunate enough to know this. I, on the other hand, am on the slower learning curve, let’s just be honest.

And that’s okay. God meets us where we are, right? Praying for revelation this past weekend doesn’t mean I am necessarily going to see angels (even though that has happened), but it does mean I am going to see things more clearly. Understand them a little deeper, Know at a different level.

I don’t know about you, but I’ll take it!
