A well meaning friend once asked me what I was thinking. (The timing was bad, but the question was good.) I was in the thick of my addiction and I had just done something irrevocably damaging.
“What was I thinking”?
I was drunk, I really wasn’t…. thinking
But – In my core, in that inner place, I was always thinking – “When will this insanity end?”
I’ve been sober for five months today. There are a lot of things that I do not remember when I was in the midst of my addiction. I do however remember her asking me this question. Perhaps it hurt my feelings. Perhaps it brought me shame.
Today its got me thinking….
What was God thinking about me?
A few things I know for certain that He was thinking about me….
“Michelle is my daughter, I AM her father”
“Michelle is my princess, I AM her King”
“Michelle is broken, I AM the great Healer”
“Michelle is mine, I AM her Redeemer”
God pulled me up out of that pit, and He has sat my feet upon a rock and put a new song in my mouth (Psalm 40:2-3)
Today I was thinking…. I am one blessed girl
Today I was thinking… I am truly loved
No More Shame
