Repeat these words out loud:
I came into this world already fully loved.
I started my day already fully loved.
I will lie my head down tonight already fully loved.
No matter what I do or don’t do, no matter what I say or don’t say.
So the begging for affection can stop.
The looking for love in all the wrong places can end.
The searching for approval can be done.
All my striving can cease.
…for the love which from our birth over and around us lies…Lord of all, to thee we raise, this our hymn of grateful praise…
I AM LOVED.
Fully. Completely. Intimately.
Through & through.
No matter what.
I AM LOVED.
(Ask God to help you truly understand this…because as it sinks in, your life and heart will change. And I know this to be true, because His love is changing me.)
