Beloved - this word has been echoing in my head for a day now.
Not a new word. not an uncommon word, but a word in which I can sink deeply into.
It is a word of hope, a word of acceptance, a word of belonging, a word of peace, a word of joy, a word of comfort. A life giving word, a life changing word.
It overcame me like a tidal wave with such a simple thread of logic from Dan Cruver: When Jesus rose out of the water at His baptism His Father proclaimed to the world, “This is MY BELOVED SON, and I am very pleased in him”. And because we are sons and daughters, what is true of our Messiah is also true of us.
WE ARE BELOVED!
I AM BELOVED!
My Father in Heaven has declared to the world, that I am also His beloved son.
I am beloved.
And this changes everything,
