recently, consciously-subconscious, i have wondered "where in the world do i belong?" again, consciously-subconscious, i've answered "i belong in His presence." and left it at that, in a shallow state without any depth or meaning to it. before i come to this answer, i always contemplate "Jacksonville? Cocoa Beach? Costa Rica? Indonesia? Australia? South Africa? California? Hawaii?"
all these spots fly through my mind before i finally settle with "His presence."
i just CONSCIOUSLY figured out what answer i actually needed. it's not a physical place. the right answer for the type of question this is isn't His presence [i wont try to explain. im sure whoever is reading this has understanding of what im talking about. if not message me and ill attempt to explain my heart.]
it's not really "where" do i belong, but to whom do i belong. i had no idea i was battling with this 'til Holy Spirit said what He said to me.
All He said was "you are Mine. and you will be with Me." one small phrase. and then all of this hit.
i wonder, how would relationships and dating change in the teen-world if we all really got this? that we will be with Him, and that we are His? and that we were created for His pleasure, and He takes total and complete delight in us. and that He shaped every figure, every cell, every emotion and personality trait. and in all of our "flaws" and "plus's", He takes delight in each and every one, because He made them. and He's teaching us. and that He's called each and every one of us BY NAME. when He spoke us, He didn't just say "Lisa Wall", but within my name is a purpose and mission to complete on the earth. and that He takes utter delight in watching us grow and learn and embrace His kingdom and complete our individual mission on the earth.
