beloved

it’s always fun finding tiny bits of wisdom from the most unlikely of sources… i was watching glee today and there was this touching scene betwee Kurt and his father… Kurt’s gay and he was trying to change himself so that he could have an easier relationship with his dad… and his dad said something to him that was really touching

“it’s your job to be yourself.  it’s my job to love your no matter what”

and ya…even though it’s far from being religious… that quote made me think about God’s love as the Father for us… for me as His beloved.

i want to wake up every morning and remind myself that He loves me first… so I can go out and even if the day sucks, even if it’s awesome, even if i fail miserably and the whole world comes crashing down… i know that at the end of the day… no matter what I did or said or thought… His love for me will not change.  all i have to do is be myself…grounded in the realization and acceptance that He loves me.

“my job is to be myself… live as the beloved joy of my Father.  His job is to love me no matter what”
