You Are Loved!

YOU ARE LOVED!!! Really that is all what it comes down to. It's three little words that everyone always needs to hear and know about themselves. You are loved and you have been fearfully and wonderfully made to live the life that you are living.  You were put in this life because you were strong enough to handle it.  God made you so wonderfully complex! We can't even imagine everything we are meant for because we are always learning and growing and finding out new ways we can serve and use are talents.  

Wow!  I love listening to KLove radio!  There is always and amazing song every time I turn it on to listen, and Casting Crowns -- love when they are on when I press the 'on' button on my radio. :-)  Really....though....there are many songs out there that are amazing by Casting Crowns, right?  

Especially one of the newer songs, 'Just Another Birthday.' This tells the story of a girl just looking to be loved.  Abandoned by her father when she was a little girl, left to be raised by her mother to play out both roles of mom/dad in her life and used by her boyfriend who isn't in her life for very long.  

There are so many of us out there with the best dads in the world.  We have dads to love us and protect us and pick us up when we fall through out our lives.  They laugh with us and play with us when we are little.  But, have we ever stopped to think that there are, quite possibly, many girls out there who don't have a dad or have dealt with their dad leaving or never really knowing their dad.  They don't know what it is like to be raised by a dad/father that loves them unconditionally.  
So they search and search for love anywhere they can find it. While they end up searching in all the wrong places; completely unknown and don't even realize that they are even looking for something that possibly lead to more hurt and pain.  Sometimes they just need to know that  they are loved!
As the girl in the video who ultimately comes to find that she has a Father in Heaven that loves her so very much and wants the best for her, He gives her all the love she needs in this world she is living in.  When she starts looking into the happy memories and future glances she can soon find that SHE is LOVED by an Amazing Father who will never let go of her!
