You are mine.

Along with the Thursday funniness, I thought you might need something soothing too.

A while back, I heard about a site called Sacred Space. Run by the Irish Jesuits, it's a space that is breathtakingly simple and beautiful. On days where I need a timeout at work, or an affirmation, it always seems to deliver. Strange how God does that.

Today's prayer cycle is particularly healing and begins with something I just wanted to pass along as an affirmation.

When God looks at me, he desires me and is saying:
You are desirable.
I made you good.
I want you.

God sees me as his daughter or son, whom he loves.

He says:
You are mine.
His gaze says:
I delight in you.

Can I accept this gaze of love?
Or do I run back into disapproval?

His gaze is like sunshine.

Can I rest in it,
bask in it,
until I am bathed by the Holy Spirit?

How healing.

I know we all need to hear these truths more often. That's why I try so hard to make the people I love abundantly clear that I love them implicitly, no matter what.
