I believe God
wants you to know ...
... that
you are a pure child of God, beautiful in your innocence -- and
That this is true no
matter what you may have done.
There is no offense
you could ever commit that can rob you of your
magnificence, or of
the wonder of who you are. Yet who
among us hasn't
fallen from the path, betrayed another, acted
unwisely, fallen
prey to temptation, given in to a craving or addiction?
All of us are human.
And in God's eyes that makes us perfect.
Really. Just the way
we are. Like 3-year-olds, looking anxiously
up at some elder,
wondering with quivering lips whether we'll get
a spanking for
breaking the rules...
The 3-year-old is
beautiful in her innocence. He is pure as snow,
and there is simply
something that has not been totally understood,
or fully integrated
into behavior yet. It's okay. We don't mean to
be "bad."
And in truth, we aren't. Not a one of us.
We're simply,
sometimes, mistaken. And God loves us anyway.
Immensely.
Completely. Eternally.
Just as we are.
Oh, and by the way,
...you already know
the reason that this
particular reminder
came to you today...
