145 "I leave home every time I lose faith in the voice that calls me the Beloved." - Henri Nouwen, The Return of the Prodigal Son
In today's Life-Giving Friday episode, Emily uses Henri's full quote (view here) as a reminder of our identity. It is our nature to find ways to define who we are in our hunt for our identity. What we do and fulfill can be replicated by someone else. However, what cannot be fulfilled or replicated is you.
You are loved for your individuality and your uniqueness. You do not need to look for approval from somewhere or someone else. Your identity is Beloved of God.
Whenever you begin to doubt your goodness and self-worth, write these affirmations down:
I am Beloved
I am chosen
I am loved by God
Your worth and value are not up for grabs. It cannot be changed or shaken.
You are beloved of God, and that is so powerful!
