I Thank God (Wandering into the Night)
Monday, November 18, 2024
"Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." (Matthew 11:28-30)
Today's is a guest devotional.
"Ever feel like an imposter? A pretender who is supposed to be full of faith and love but is also full of other less desirable stuff? We confess to know Jesus and love our neighbor while we secretly think our neighbor is an annoying git. If others knew the thoughts of our hearts, we would be tossed out on our keister. Doubt and shame can hover like a dark shadow.
"Maybe your thing is a deeply held insecurity you try to keep buried. Your job is secure. You are relatively successful in your work or even wildly successful in your career. On the outside, no one would know the beast of self-doubt that lurks in the dark corners of your heart. Even with all the worldly successes, you wonder if you are enough.
"All the wrestling on the inside is not hidden from the God who created us and calls us by name. Sit on that and let the shiver snake down your spine. He knows our thoughts and the intentions of our hearts, and His response is to love.
"God knows all the deep, hidden corners of my inner world, and He isn't repulsed. He invites me closer. The gift in that invitation is that as I move closer and those hidden areas light up with His presence, they are changed. I am changed. The darkness fades, and the light shines more brightly.
"Maybe you are in recovery, or have been labeled as anxious or depressed. Overidentifying with labels is dangerous. I am not a fan of labels unless they help me learn how to take care of something. Clothing labels help us decide whether to hang it up or throw it in the dryer. A food label helps determine the expiration date.
"But labels on people are harmful. Labels on people put us in boxes with sides too high to climb. I say I am broken, but God says He makes me whole.
"A more vulnerable truth might be that we are all in some sort of recovery. Recovering from broken hearts and broken lives. Recovering from what we created and what we have to deal with but never asked for. We face the dangers from within and the chaos all around us. Our slowly drifting, weary souls leave us battered and bruised.
"We tend to want people to look and act in a certain way, and deviations from the center typically don't fit in well. Variations often find themselves isolated and silenced.
"Let's tell some truth. All fall short of center. On my worst days, you would run and hide if my heart was exposed before you. I also create safe spaces for vulnerable people to share their deepest emotional wounds. And if it happens in me, I know some dark things happen inside you, too.
"God invites all to come close, no matter how visible the flaws. God doesn't define you by your mistakes. He gives you a new name! He sees you in a way that the world may not. His vision of you is through the lens of His sacrifice. His blood for our life. God calls you up. He will not push you out because you haven't mastered or cleaned up every area of your life.
"Be encouraged. Join in the dance of gratefulness. Thank God for grace and His unfailing love."
