I don’t love her because she’s a legend. I love her because of her story. Why? Because it’s many people’s story. They too want the world to see them for who they want to be. Many people didn’t know her story until her death. She wanted the world to see her exactly as what we saw…
Beauty
Talent
Desirable
But what her husbands and people who worked close with her saw was a sad abandoned little girl who wanted to be noticed, treasured, and loved. One of her ex-husbands never stopped loving her. He would often visit her gravestone after her death. They too may have called her Marilyn Monroe, but they still saw Norma Jeane. Even with her name change she was still little Norma on the inside screaming for love.
I don’t know Marilyn Monroe. But I do know of “Norma’s” and I hurt for the Norma’s out there who never get to hear about God’s love for them. Who walk around hiding behind forced smiles. Who keep the people at arms length that have good intentions. Who don’t know that they don’t have to carry burdens that they have been carrying.
If you are Norma on the inside I want you to know….
You are loved
you are treasured
you are fought for
and yes you are desired by God.

Beautiful message, my friend. There are SO MANY Norma’s out there- desperate for love and affirmation that they are treasured and important. I think we all have some Norma in us. It makes me so sad to know there are many who long for this kind of love, and haven’t yet found it in our Heavenly Father.
I pray they do.
