Overflowing Love
“You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased.”
Dear Heavenly Father,
How can you be pleased with me?
You created me for a specific intention,
Like a special key to unlock some hidden purpose.
However, it remains a mystery to me.
How do I know what I am doing is what you are intending?
More concerning,
Am I even worthy of the mission you have brought forth to me?
I am willful,
I get distracted,
I stumble.
Of course, you have known all of these,
My shortcomings,
My nature,
My doubts.
Yet, you loved me into being,
And created me in your image.
Have I been myopic?
I have been self-preoccupied,
And have forgotten your infinite Goodness.
If a mother dotes on her baby who does not yet know how to reciprocate love,
How much more, then, do you, O perfect love, delight in me?
In times of my self-doubts,
Help me to remember to bask in your overflowing love for me.
Your Little One
