Words & Whispers

I hear the Lord say:

You are enough. You don’t need to be any ‘better’ for Me to love you. I know you seek My approval. You are forgetting that as your Heavenly Father, you are my favorite daughter. All of my daughters are my favorite. Like an earthly father with multiple children, I love you for the uniqueness of you. You may have your mother’s eyes and your father’s nose. You may be tall or short, vivacious or introspective. Your personality, likes and dislikes, talents and gifts, passions and pursuits are special and belong to you alone. I created you to be free to walk in your gifts and talents and to enjoy being you. I want you to love yourself as I love you. Yes, I know that you want to keep growing and learning. That is not exclusive. But enjoy the growing and learning. Don’t let it be a ‘contest’ or a ‘goal’ driven by performance. Your gifts and talents are unfolding like a rose blossom! Walk into the garden with a spring in your step and a smile on your face! Your heavenly Father loves you… and that is enough.

Know that the Lord is God.
It is he who made us, and we are his;
we are his people, the sheep of his pasture. 
 Psalm 100:3  NIV
