Have You Ever...?

Have you ever felt like you were undeserving of the things or people that God has blessed you with?

Have you ever wished that there were things you could change about yourself?

Have you ever felt that sometimes the lessons God wants us to learn are just really hard?

And have you ever felt like your walk with God was kind of 'blah' and then in your most weak and vulnerable moment, a friend comes along side and holds your hand and gives you the biggest hug ever, and it's like God specifically sent this hug and this person to remind you that He is there and He cares?

I've felt all of these things quite recently. And going back to the last "Have you ever," there are two particular people who have been there for me in this way at different times... it is so wonderful to have friends like them, who allow me to be me, who tell me I'm a beautiful person because they know that most of the time I don't think that, but also because they actually believe it. friends who encourage me and who allow me to be vulnerable and let my guard down.

There are so many things God has done for me. And I feel so undeserving.
