Another theme that I recognized in my journal, is this feeling of being noticed and being loved. I have written down so many times about how a boy would notice me, or how a classmate would come over and talk to me, or how someone would notice that I wasn't okay. God created us to live in community with each other, and we have a natural instinct of wanting to feel loved. The thing is that God loves you just the way you are, and you don't need to have to try to fit in.
1 John 4:10 "In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins." God loved us first, and he still loves us to this day. So when you don't feel like anyone in this world loves you, God still does.
Romans 5:8 "But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." This is a common verse about this topic, but when you think about it, even when we refused to acknowledge God, he still loved us, and he died for us.
On top of God's love for us, we also have people on Earth who love us. The body of Christ is a family of God's people, who are there to love and support each other.
Romans 12: 4-5 "For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function, so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another." We each are different, working on different things for the Lord, but when we come together in unity, amazing things can happen.
Not only does God love us, but people hear on Earth love us. God doesn't want us to be alone, but to live in community with each other.
Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank you for the love that you have given us, and for the fact that it never changes. Thank you for a place on Earth, where I can feel loved, and feel like I belong. Amen.
