Just like my sweet hen, there is a deep longing within each of us to be nurtured, to be held and cared and fought for. Our core needs as psychiatrist, speaker and author Curt Thompson talks about in the “Being Known Podcast” are the four S\u2019s: to be Seen, Soothed, Safe and Secure<\/strong>. Thompson states that, \u201cWe come into this world looking for someone who is looking for us\u201d.<\/strong> We are all meant for attachment and attunement with another yet more importantly we are meant for deep attachment and attunement with God. To be known and to be loved, fully and unconditionally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In many ways, these core needs go unmet or at least under met in that we are human and we are limited. Even with the best intentions, we all fall short and fail in being able to meet another persons needs perfectly. We are uncertain how to love and how to be loved. We have all felt the weight and may carry the wounds of someone we love failing us and the feeling of being unseen and unloved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know I have felt this weight and have carried past wounds. With God\u2019s grace and over time, I have found healing and I am learning to release my grip on that which someone else is unable to give me. Instead I am trusting in and reaching for the outstretched arms of Jesus. As my hen looks for and comes to me each morning, I am also learning to first come to Jesus to meet my needs and sustain me throughout each day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He is the One who is and always will be my All in All, Emmanuel, God with me. I am seen and I am known. Holy Spirit surrounds me and dwells within me. I was made in the secret place, knit together, bonded to the very heart of God. Like a mother hen, He shelters me with the feathers of His ever watchful care. I find complete rest and comfort, under His wings of unlimited, unfailing love.<\/p>\n\n\n

\u201cHe will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another beautifully written resource on Attachment with God that was just released is a book entitled, \u201cThe Emmanuel Promise\u201d, by Summer Joy Gross. Summer also has an amazing podcast that I highly recommend, called The Presence Project. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
