All of us make mistakes. We have shortcomings. But none of us are defined by our worst days. We’re shaped by what failure teaches us, but we are not failures.

Please hear this Truth today:

You are God’s beloved, and that is the Truth that matters.

And since we are still here, we are living, breathing proof that God is not through with us—God has not abandoned us, forsaken us, or condemned us.

While God continues to perfect us, God’s love toward us is already perfect—meaning we can do nothing to make God love us any more or any less.

You are God’s beloved, and that is the Truth that matters.

Regardless of our performance—what we’ve done or left undone—God will not repent of God’s love or gracious calling.

You are God’s beloved, and that is the Truth that matters.

So please, brothers and sisters, remember this Truth. Recite these words to yourself. And—

Be kind to yourself!

But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners,

Christ died for us.

(Romans 5:8)

Good Morning, I love you all!
