Lost

May 23rd, 2010 No comments

The Series Finale of Lost was tonight.

And it was a good show.  Why was it so good?  I think that is a simple answer.  It was good because, like any other good shows out there, it told the viewers that they are worthy and accepted.  The show took flawed people and turned them into something important.

It was a common theme from the 6 seasons, especially the last 3.  I remember a specific episode when Ben was going to Locke’s side because at least there he would be accepted.  Then he was asked to stay because he was accepted there too.

It happend again in this last episode.  Ben was asked to be number 2.

I think we are all flawed.  We are human, and we all want to be worthy and accepted.  But the show is over, the good feeling it gave while it was on the air has come to an end.  However, there is one place where you can truly feel worthy, where you are truly accepted.

God says He loved us before we were even conceived in our mother’s womb.  He created us to love us.  Like a parent loves a child, God loves His children.  You and I.  All we need to do is receive it.  I spent 2 years of my life running away from that love, but God showed me time and time and time again just how true it was.  And guess what, it doesn’t end after six years.  It doesn’t even end after 100 years.  Not ever.

So, are you searching for something.  Are you looking for validation, for your identity.  If you want it, cry out to God ad ask Him for it.  Then grab a Bible, go to church, email me, or talk to someone about it!

I pray that right now, as you are reading this God will reveal a new piece of His love for you to you.  I pray it would be more than just a feeling or an emotion, but something real.  I pray this because He has told me who I am, and I want you to know who you are.  You are a masterpiece, a beautiful masterpiece, created by a good God who loves you deeply.  I pray this in the name of Jesus the Christ.  Amen.
