In any relationship, there are many doubts and fears. Even when the person you are with is, quite possibly, the most honest and faithful person in the world. Chalk it up to past experiences and personal insecurities, but I am a person that likes/needs to be reassured constantly that I am loved. How needy is that? Haha.
But praise God because He has been teaching me to base my sense of self in an accurate view of who I am in Him. Not on external circumstances. Not on emotions. Not even on relationships with people who are as flawed as I am.
Such that, when an affirmation does come, it is but icing on the cake.
Last Saturday night, I was invited by Jotham's mom to a fellowship night with other ladies in their church. At one point in the program, we broke off into small groups, and I found myself in a table with Jotham's mom, and Lei, Jotham's sister-in-law. We were asked to tell each other, what we appreciated about the other.
And Jotham's mom said the sweetest thing. "Thank you for making Jotham so happy. Mahal na mahal ka ng anak ko."
Hayayayyy.
These things, they are very, very nice to hear.
