In case you've never been told, or perhaps have forgotten, you are...

Loved by an almighty God who loved you too much to live without you. So here you are.

Good. God makes beautiful and wonderous things, and they are good. You are good.

Called to love. We are called to love as He loves us. Sometimes it's hard, boundaries need to be set. But He will teach you to love like Him if you listen for His voice.

A Saint in the making.

Set apart to be united with your Creator in Heaven.

Known.

Defended.

Worth dying for. ❤️
