It doesn’t matter how broken you are or how desperate your situation is, God can heal you and put all the scattered pieces of your life back together. He knows your deepest needs, dreams, struggles, fears and regrets. He knows how deeply you are hurting and is desperately waiting to start the restoration process. His grace is greater than all the junk in our life, and His amazing love will overfill the deep void of all of our longings. He knows you.
Remember the movie the Lion King? Remember when Simba checks out and runs as far away as he could in the other direction? He forgot who he was. A transformation happens when Simba looks into the water and his reflection becomes the face of his father Mufasa. Here are the words that are exchanged between father and son.
Mufasa: Simba.
Simba: Father?
Mufasa: Simba, you have forgotten me.
Simba: No! How could I?
Mufasa: You have forgotten who you are, and so forgotten me. Look inside yourself, Simba? You are more than what you have become.
Simba: How can I go back? I’m not who I used to be.
Mufasa: Remember who you are. You are my son, and the one true king. Remember who you are.
Have you forgotten who you are?
Life is tough and it will take everything from you if you let it! You can discover who you are and take back your heart, but you’re going to have to fight for it! Remember, life is not a snapshot, so why are you living your life that way? Live courageously from your heart!
