Yes, if I am wanted for anything, please make it while I\u2019m still kickin\u2019! Several years ago in my 55+ community in Tulsa, we had a Western-themed get-together. What a fun night we had! I loved the party-planners\u2019 ideas for fun \u2013 particularly as I walked the halls of the community center and saw WANTED posters up for various residents. Those investigators found this photo of me. I like that I was valued at $50K! And, yes, I admit I owned the 60s-70s era with my \u201cFarrah\u201d hair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Where I’m going with today’s post isn’t about Farrah OR her hair. It’s about being wanted. I don\u2019t know your history — how you came to be here at this place and at this time. I don’t know if you were ever rejected and made to feel UNWANTED. I don’t know if you were a “wallflower” at that school dance or if you had a long line of fellas waiting to dance with you. I don’t know if you’ve received pink slip after pink slip on jobs that just didn’t click for you. I don’t know if the love of your life walked out on you for another or if you’ve never known the love of your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But I do know this: YOU ARE WANTED!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before you were conceived in your mother’s womb, God knew you, planned you and gave you breath. Your life is His proclamation of “I want that one in this world at this specific time, in this specific place, for reasons that only he\/she can fulfill.” When God was handcrafting and designing you — His Masterpiece, He included your strengths, your talents, your gifts, your eyes, your nose, your goofiness, or your seriousness. He put it altogether and created the miracle of YOU!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whatever has happened along the way of your journey to this day, His purpose for you remains strong. God is still saying \u201cYou are WANTED”. He is still saying \u201cThere is purpose for you being here and I have plans for you — to prosper you and not harm you — plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Don’t ever listen to the lies of the thief who wants to steal you of your value and worth and being wanted. Rejection is a thief and a liar. Don’t listen to him when he tries to convince you you’ve failed too many times, or you’ve messed up too much. That you took a wrong turn somewhere and you can never get back on track. That there is something \u201cwrong\u201d with you or everything in your life would be right. Just don’t listen to those lies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Instead lean into your Father — the ONE that brought you here and let Him tell you again, \u201cYou are mine. You are chosen. You are accepted. You are cherished. You are my prized possession — my masterpiece.” Yes, YOU ARE WANTED — but for how much? You are PRICELESS — a one-of-a-kind ORIGINAL. Don’t ever let anyone tell you otherwise!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
