Chef illustration (in progress/draft/def unpolished)

Note: sorry if this makes no sense. I am so tired but wanted to right to the idea of this down before going to bed. Hope something positive comes through for you <3

Like a cook who realizes they have made a mistake and cannot go back in the time fix it, though of course fellow workers and colleagues can be there to support, run to “to the head chef” who is kind, wise, and genuinely invites you to rely on him. Even as you explore “cooking” freely throughout your life, Do not let shame or fear convince you that under the heat of the moment, this is where you should try to just fix it by yourself; you never meant to disappoint. You feel badly, you feel embarrassed. You don't want to burden anyone else, and you hope to be able to just undo this so it never really happened. 

We cannot change the past. But are ever wise, and loving. Heavenly father wants us to come to him. He wants us to run to him, to run to him first. 

Heat tends to speed up chemical reactions, all the reactions that happen in cooking whether going right or wrong.

And yet, it is maybe the panic of it all that can make us clench down on trying to solve it ourselves. Maybe only getting our best friend in the kitchen who we hope could help us without judging us to fix it. But the longer you delay the harder it will be later. 

God is not only pretending he wants to help you. To be your best self you can be, to grow, not to be consumed and cut down by mistakes but to face them, face the for real, work with him to make things right. With him, with others (especially accountable to both when you have hurt them), and yourself, too. Best as you can. He really wants to be there for you, closely. 

Run to him. He wants to be there with you, for you, to guide you and make a success your life. And he has made it ever clear that your life doesn't have to be perfect, you don't have to be perfect for him to have decided you are worth it. He has decided this already. Each person, including you, are worth so much to him ♥️

(John 3:16; Luke 12:6,7 for a couple scriptures I hope you might find encouraging to this point.)
