Beloved

Invitation to encounter: Use your sanctified imagination to see yourself in one of God’s Creation moments. Have a conversation with the Heavenly Father about His determination to create you. Slow down to gaze at Him, and notice His way of gazing at you. Speak to Him, listen to Him. Step into the wonderment of the Heavenly Father’s infinite goodness that He couldn’t keep to Himself but overflowed in creating you - God’s utter delight in choosing to create someone who never existed before - you! Consider His plan to make you eternally unique, precious, and unrepeatable in His sacred image and likeness. Invitations to ponder: Where in your life do you sense a rising longing to claim or reclaim that gift of God’s love in a deeply personal way? Which part of your story can return from exile as God gathers you to rest in the good and true things that are glimpses of you?

As you savor your belovedness held in the Trinity, may this song gently carry you: “Always with Me” by Porter’s Gate - Worship Project
