Don’t get it twisted, Friend. You’ve been neither deliberately forgotten, accidentally omitted, maliciously discarded, cruelly rejected, strategically overlooked, nor purposely excluded. You’ve been divinely rescued. You’ve been graciously protected. You’ve been mercifully hidden. You’ve been relieved from any need to fit in, play along, settle, shrink, seek validation, or waste time.
That disinterest and indifference you feel is legitimate. It’s not apathy or laziness, it's honesty. It's medicinal. That laughter at what impresses others, and drives them to ever-dizzying heights of busyness, is loud and authentic.
Your mind and heart is in a fantastic place.
Your eyes are open.
Your sense of smell is keen.
You know what has changed, and what has, unfortunately, remained the shady same.
Whether you were snatched or gently guided, you were saved from mistaking burdens for blessings. Aren’t you glad?
Understand. God doesn’t want you over there, settling and making excuses for, consumed with, and conforming to that— nor them. His omniscience and omnipresence informs, enlightens, and dictates the paths upon which you belong, the company you should keep, and the spaces where you will be nurtured, safe, strengthened, motivated, and most creative. He prepares your table. He wants you where HE is, and has given you the wisdom, and experience to discern what is of Him, and what’s superficial, resource and health draining, self-serving fluff, that does little, if anything, to represent or glorify Him.
Deviate from what your gut is telling you, at your own peril. Don’t doubt that you see exactly what you see.
Remember: Green pastures. Still waters. Not sinkholes and tsunamis.
He wants your soul restored, not tortured; not compromised. His yoke is easy, not a hustle or a chore. His burden is light, not a grind.
