I don’t think people like themselves much these days. They are trying to find love and acceptance in all the wrong places. They reach out for love and acceptance thru drugs, bad relationships and the new phrase “just look at me now”. I recently heard a wonderful song by Rachael Lampa and Toby Mac that addresses this dilemma. The song ‘Perfectly Loved” starts out with the line, “who says you are not beautiful”. It goes on with references to not belonging, never finding love, little lies, etc. Basically just not being enough. We hear this all the time today in hundreds of different ways. The answer is Jesus—-and his perfect love. The love of God is perfect. We have always been perfectly loved. Even when we “don’t see it or feel it. We are not a problem or a mistake. We don’t need fixing or solving in the arms of God’s Grace.” We need to believe that every single moment we are perfectly loved by God our creator through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.
Do something nice to yourself today. Listen to the song “Perfectly Loved”.
