"And this is my prayer, that your love may overflow more and more with knowledge and full insight to help you determine what is best, so that in the day of Christ you may be pure and blameless, having produced the harvest of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ for the glory and praise of God." -- Philippians 1:9-11

Day 17: Beloved

Deeply loved.  The quest and yearning for true love is embedded deep in our society.  It permeates from all angles: television, magazines, music lyrics, even adds on the T.  Promises to find love, tips for the right decisions, and advertisements for helpful products yell at us that we are not good enough for love as we are, and instead must enhance some component of ourselves to fill the allusive void of love.

What if we promoted a different message?  One that gave thanks for the beautiful body and soul that comprises you.  A message that insisted that in love we are created, and in love we live each day. 

We are God’s children.  Each and every soul that walks the earth is created in the image of God, in the image of love.  Instead of worry and self doubt, live into the promise that God has given us a life of love, just as we are.

I celebrate this acknowledgement.  That God is love, God has given us love, and God brings people into our lives to share that love with us. 

My friend, you are beloved.
