Whew, this was a journey ๐ nothing like what I thought was in my head ๐
Broken
Beloved
Beauty
We donโt like to think about being broken, do we? We want to be โall thatโ and then some. Being broken is not a bad thing, itโs a reckoning thing. Itโs a human thing. For me, I mess things up when I do it without recognizing just how badly I can mess it up, because I am not perfect. But, for Jesus ๐
But…oh I love this ๐ we are Beloved, yes we are. All of us. No matter what state we are in, we are all beloved. Fierce Beloved. Free Beloved. No matter where you find yourself in the journey, know that you are Beloved. Darling, dear, dearest, precious, adored, loved, much loved, favorite, cherished, treasured & prized.
Beauty, yes Beauty. This beauty is not of the skin, the face, the body, the size, the color, or the status. This beauty is inside. This beauty is a testament to kindness, strength, grace, patience, integrity, love & giving. Forgiveness, authenticity & gentleness.
I pray that you are able to risk believing that all these things are true, all at the same time.
There is a lot of quietness in my life right now and I do love being able to hear, ponder & embrace new or revisiting truth ๐ I hope that today, you are doing something good for you ๐
