The lord is with us always. Even when we fall we are only a prayer and a whisper away from Gods great grace and mercy. We are all loved. We just have to accept that. God wants us to be in his presence. He wants to give us that joy and healing and love. We just have to ask and we shall receive. The problem is that we convince ourselves we are not worthy of God's love. Whether it be because of the mistakes we have made in the past or the things we convince ourselves about God and his nature that pull us farther away from God. We get so caught up on thinking we have to be perfect that we can also draw away when we feel we have fallen or sinned before God and we want to hide ourselves from God and from our shame. Ultimately God wants to give us that love and that healing and joy. He loves all of his children. Once you accept that in your heart and you begin to accept God's love in your life you will begin to see and to understand things a lot differently and you will understand just how beautiful and truly unique you are in his eyes. We are all beautiful creations. We all have our own places in the sun. We all come from the same loving source.
