Tallness of Heart

I have received absolutely overwhelming encouragement in response to my last note. I want to hold each and every one of you and kiss you on the forehead until you understand how grateful I truly am. I have been blessed by my God beyond belief, and each one of you is testament to that.

I'm coming to accept my shortness, and what's more, coming to embrace it as a very part of who I am. Yes, I may often feel physically insufficient, but I'm being reminded by the most beautiful people I know that it is what is unseen, not what is seen, that is eternal.

I realized yesterday as I was processing my insecurities that I have tried so hard lately to find validation anywhere I could, and in the process have lost perspective of where it is my validation truly comes from. It was once my battle cry that His grace was enough, and I've never realized until now how fully sufficient that grace is, and how much more it covers than what I had previously thought. See, I have said that so often thinking, 'If we would have merely been spared from death and sin, that would have been enough.' Instead, I must now think, 'whatever weakness or insufficiency or less desirable feature I have, His grace covers it.'

'Beloved, do you have any idea how deep that is?' He says to me
And I really don't.

But I really want to.
