I Am Loved

Last week was an interesting week.
I learned many things about myself
including the facts that

1) I do love God.
I didn't think I did.

2) God loves me.
I wasn't sure about that.

I AM BELOVED!

I also learned that

1) I didn't like myself.

2) I didn't love myself.

3) I felt I was unworthy of love.

I AM WORTHY!

I also learned that because 

I am beloved and I am worthy, that I am Truly Loved!

It's amazing when God pours down His graces,
things change.
 

For years, acceptance of myself has been my greatest barrier to God.  I am who I am through His love and graces.  He made me this way because He loved me, not because He wanted me to suffer.  Therefore, if I am rejected I need to remember that He was rejected first.  If I am hated, He was hated first.  I am who I am because of His love.  He loves me as though I were His only child.
He loves me because I am me.  He knows my faults, and He loves me.  He knows my deepest darkest thoughts, and He loves me.  He gives me graces to become more than I am.
He holds me close to His Sacred Heart.  I must open myself to His graces and love.  He does not compare me to others.  I am as beloved to Him as the greatest saint.  He carved me in His palm.  I am loved by God.

Prayer

Acceptance of myself is my greatest barrier to God.  I am who I am through His love and graces.  He made me this way because He loved me, not because He wanted me to suffer.  Therefore, if I am rejected I need to remember that He was rejected first.  If I am hated, He was hated first.  I am who I am because of His love.  He loves me as though I were His only child.
He loves me because I am me.  He knows my faults, and He loves me.  He knows my deepest darkest thoughts, and He loves me.  He gives me graces to become more than I am.
He holds me close to His Sacred Heart.  I must open myself to His graces and love.  He does not compare me to others.  I am as beloved to Him as the greatest saint.  He carved me in His palm.  I am loved by God.
 
I WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN!

Last week was a Spirit Filled week!
