The need to feel loved and accepted

Patience is underrated.  Why get in a hurry to see things happen or try to make them happen on our own, when we're mere mortals?  Patience.  All in due time things work themselves out to how they should be.  I am not worried about today, tomorrow, or next week.  What will be, will be so the saying goes.  I've learned to accept that.  There's not much I can do to change things.  What is inevitable, will happen either way, right.  I've been hurt a lot in the past.  I've been hurt a lot this year, that to even stop and think of all the hurt inflicted I still feel a small jab right under my rib cage from the pain, the embarrassment, the feeling of being alone; abandoned by the ones you love and trust the most.  I choose to believe that we're all good at heart.  How can mankind thrive if we don't have some good in us, right?  Or perhaps it's just my own naivety to think that everyone is good deep down, even if it can't be seen with the naked eye.  

This past weekend I really felt that God reminded me why it's important to stay humble and not fret over things that are much too big for me to handle.  Patience has brought me more answers and peace than what I would have found if I tried to fix my problems and change people.  Yes, I've had some dear 'friends' throw me away this year but I've chosen not to worry about what they did or why they did it.  And it's all come full circle.  I'm engulfed in happiness...I'm almost drowning.  I've found and bonded with people who care about me and want to be around me.  I didn't have to go looking for these people.  God allowed our paths to cross as I patiently waited and went about my life.  I haven't felt this way in years and I love it.  To be loved, desired, valued...all the things we as humans want to feel.
