"You are my Son, the Beloved; with you I am well pleased." ~ Luke 3:22
You are the Beloved. This is a concept many of us struggle with. I think of the Covenant House kids and wonder how many of them ever learn this lesson. For myself, for many years I have fought these demon voices that mock the Voice that loves me. I listen to them hissing in my ear some days and my confidence grows shaky. "I can't" or "I am not able..." or "I am not enough..." I have learned the Truth and still that incessant buzz clamours to silence the Sound of Goodness, Love, Mercy and Peace. The Voice of God says:
You are enough.
You are loved.
You are beloved.
You can.
You will.
You are more than able.
You are capable.
You are mine.
You are blessed and a blessing.
In this great knowledge, I can move into my mission in the world and be free. I can risk and I can succeed but I can also fail, knowing that at the core of who I am and what I do I am loved. I am one of the Beloved. This is pure gift.
Do you know that you are the Beloved?
Peace,
Suzanne
