Beloved

This morning at First Congo, the message was especially meaningful to me. I think I struggle from time to time with feeling worthless, well maybe not that severe, maybe just not what I am meant to be, like I will never live up to whatever THAT is. Last week was about trusting yourself and it was uplifting as well, but this was different and gave me some fresh perspective on God and His view of us.

I wrote down a few quotes from our Rev. Cheryl Cornish to share that meant a lot to me.

"God is saying,"You are beloved; you are significant in this universe.""
"How do we make the thousand small choices well?"
"Life is MORE than survival. We want to thrive." (emphasis added)
"You are beloved always: from the beginning to the end."

And then after giving and example of a person with internal conflict about a life change, like when they wanted to leave a job, if they are unhappy, etc. :
"This isn't how you were meant to live, because you are beloved."
