Beloved Child

At Charge Conference this evening, Mark reminded us that we are beloved children of God.

Beloved. What does that mean.

It means that when I'm not feeling very lovable, I am loved. When I am angry or hurt, lost or uncomfortable, I am still loved by God. When I am in a wilderness without affirmation, I can count on the idea that I am a beloved child of God. When I wonder if I would be good company to anyone, I know that I am in the company of a God who loves me.

This evening, know that you are a beloved child of God.
