Sometimes I wonder: Is it just a nice sentiment that God calls me His child?
I don't doubt that God loves me, I often doubt His love is effective. Is me being "daughter" more than a hollow privilege? Why would a Father send a Spirit to comfort a child in a body? Why do we celebrate His Son's broken body while our bodies and spirits are still in pieces?
It's left me wanting to flip off the communion table. Because I'm still waiting to be healed to be whole and to be held. Not used or consumed. Not needed or earned. Just held with no other purpose than to be near to my Father.
