Sometimes your story involves bone-deep longing. Longing that can cause your breath to catch in your throat or tears to linger just behind your eyes, hidden from the rest of the world.

You may think no one knows or no one cares. You may think you are walking through this valley of deep longing alone, abandoned to dreams and desires you are barely able to speak aloud or even to yourself. You may believe you’ve wasted too much time on something not meant to be and you wonder where to go from here.

In those times, know that the One who created you knows your longing. Cry out to him. Let him fill you with his presence. Let him hold you in his love. Believe He cares for you and He will show up for you because He created you and to Him you are worth it. Your every breath matters to Him. Your every tear hurts Him.

Because if He that created you knows your longing, know He will meet your need. It may not look like you anticipate. But know that it will be far greater than you anything your can ask for or imagine.
