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... |
