Living Loved: See Yourself Through God’s Eyesਨਮੂਨਾ

Have you ever had one of those days where it just feels like everyone needs something from you? Maybe it’s a really busy season at work or things going on with your kids.

I’ve had whole seasons like that, where life was so demanding that spending time with God felt like just another item on my to-do list.

I even caught myself hesitating to pray, thinking, God doesn’t need one more person asking for something from Him right now.

As if His capacity was limited like mine.

A few years ago, I was in a busy season of motherhood and writing deadlines, and I was just hustling. I remember sitting in a moment with God as He brought fresh revelation, and I telling him, “This will be so encouraging for others. I can’t wait to write about it.” Honestly, I was somewhat relieved that I was actually going to have good, helpful content to meet my deadline.

God responded to me so sweetly, so gently, and also so clearly, "This isn’t for them today. This is just for Me and you. Is that all right with you?"

That moment stopped me in my tracks. I had been so focused on output—what I could do for others—that I bypassed the reality of the moment.

The King of the Universe wanted to talk with me about something…and I had jumped into output mode. I assumed that God shared that insight with me so that I could share this with others.

So today’s plan is dedicated to the prayer warriors, the caregivers, the capable and strong ones.

Can you relate to my assumptions? Thinking that the energy you have, the revelation or insight, the use of your giftings, the conversations and the connection you have with God are just an output for Him to reach other people and not also an infilling for what He wants to give you?

Sometimes, you might feel like God’s love is primarily for others, and you’re just along for the ride. But that’s not true.

God doesn’t just see you as a caregiver or a doer—He sees you as His child who also needs His care.

His care is personal. He knows the weight you’re carrying, and He invites you to lay it down.

You don’t have to be the strong one all the time.

You don’t have to hold it all together.

He meets you right where you are, with compassion not condemnation or demands. He carries you when you’re too weary to move forward and provides rest for your soul.

Receiving God’s care isn’t selfish—it’s essential.

When we stop to let Him fill us up, we’re reminded that we’re not meant to run on empty.

So today, pause. Let God remind you of His deep love and provision for you. Instead of rushing to the next thing, take a moment to simply sit with Him and let Him care for your heart.

Have you ever noticed how easy it is to let your roles or struggles define you? God has a better way, bringing freedom and peace. Let’s dive into that tomorrow.
