"..a word of affection can be a feast."
Oh it is so true.
Sometimes even less than a word- maybe a glance or a smile. I am wired as a human to find and feed on affection. If I don't have it, I feel less and less whole. Like a part of me is wrong. I mean, it has to be since no one is acknowledging me right? Of course that's wrong. The LORD gives us more love and acknowledgement than we could ever fathom. It over flows. It never ends. We're just too selfish and caught up in the junk of the world and ourselves. We can't see past the fact that some girl won over the affection of a guy you wanted, vice versa. SO WHAT. Not only do we know that life goes on, but that human affection is temporary. It fades, it fails, and clearly sometimes it is MIA. However, it doesn't exactly make you feel warm and cuddly about being a loner, right? If we turn our eyes to the King and let HIm wrap his arms around us, missing human affection won't phase us. His arms reach farther. We are never alone and the more we surrender these selfish desires of wanting to be "noticed", the more we will realize how perfectly noticed we already are.
Isaiah 41:10
Don’t you be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness
Matthew 28:20
teaching them to observe all things that I commanded you. Behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.
