Heart and Soul

God knows us. He knows what we do. He knows our shame, our brokenness. He knows the lies we are told, the lies we believe. He understands our self-addiction. He understands our hopes and desires and all our baggage and sin. He sees what the world has corrupted deep inside of us. He sent Himself to understand! He left perfection and entered into a world bathed in darkness. And he yells in agony, "You are deceived! I created you blameless, perfect, holy, righteous. I created you and love you and call you Beloved! You don't believe me? I sent my own, my Son, my Love, to be murdered in the most gruesome of ways for you! To be with you! To bring you to Me, to call you home, to show you the full extent of My Love for you! This is who you are! Stop defining yourself in who you are not. I take you where you are because of who you are and you are Loved. Perfect. Blameless. Spotless. You have been covered in the blood of my love, protected in the shadow of the cross, bathed in perfection. This is who I say you are. I, the Great I Am, I who am in all, I who Love you desperately call you Loved."

You are:
Beloved, Redeemed, Held, Comforted, Satisfied, Adored, Cared For, Child, Friend, Understood, Picked up, Purified, Blameless, Righteous, Holy, Unconditionally Loved, Protected, Safe, Beautiful, Healed, Joyful, Precious, Important, Enough, Heir of the One True King.

And what is more, you did nothing to be these things. Let the Voice of the Father tell you who you are. Simply because of who He is. Don't forget this truth. You are a piece of the heart and soul of the Living God. He says you are worth it. And if ever you are told otherwise, look up and remember what He did to have you.
