Living in God’s Love: You’re His Beloved Child
🍃 Hey friends! Ever feel like you have to keep it all together just to be accepted? Like you’ve got to prove yourself to be noticed or loved? Many of us walk through life carrying a quiet pressure, wondering deep down, “Am I really enough?”
Here’s the good news: with God, you don’t have to perform or pretend. He already sees you, knows you fully, and still joyfully calls you His child. His love isn’t reserved for the perfect or put-together. It’s for you, right now, just as you are. And not just a little bit of love, but the kind that’s described as lavished.
📖 "See what great love the Father God has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!" - 1 John 3:1
🛠️ A Heart Reset
Let today be a fresh start where you stop trying to earn love and start living from the truth that you’re already loved.
✅ Say it Out Loud – Every time you pass a mirror today, speak this truth over yourself: “I am deeply loved by God, not because of what I’ve done, but because of who He is.” Let the truth of His Word drown out the lies of self-doubt.
✅ Let Love Interrupt You – Pause during your busiest moment and thank God for calling you His child. Just a 10-second breath of gratitude can shift your whole day.
✅ Encourage Another – Text someone who might be feeling alone or forgotten. Say, “You’re not invisible. God sees you, loves you, and calls you His.” You never know how much that reminder might mean.
💡 “Define yourself radically as one beloved by God. This is the true self. Every other identity is illusion.” - Brennan Manning
🙏 Dear Lord Jesus, thank You for loving me. Help me stop striving and start resting in Your love. Let that truth shape how I see myself and how I treat others. Amen.
