My name is beloved

   The devil tells me I am weak, I am flawed, I am unqualified; he tells me that I am not enough- that people don't want me for who I am. He tells me that I need to be who the world expects me to be in order to be liked.  But Jesus tells me I am loved, I am cherished, I am beautiful; He tells me I am enough as I am- that I am perfect and complete, made in His image.

   To the world I will never be enough. To Jesus, I have always been enough from the moment I was conceived. The world will never accept me or love me. People will always criticize me and slander my life. But JESUS will always accept me and love me just as I am, because I am HIS.

I am not perfect, but I am a perfect mess. I am a beautiful, flawed, human being that was thought about and woven together by the hands of the Creator. He loves me, cherishes me and adores me. I am His creation. His daughter. His beloved.

 I am beloved. 

"I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine." 
Song of Solomon 6:3 
For the glory of God
