Lightly held

I hold my life very lightly these days. I am so grateful not to be young any longer. I need not be the best or the brightest, or the most -- anything. The Beloved meant this very me when I was created. This is the me that God loves. I rest in the cradle, in the shadow of his hand, and know that I am loved. This freedom is beyond price.

  1. I LOVE this!!! It gives me peace as well to read it. I love that thought "This is the that God loves." I so often forget that. SO often.

  2. I agree with Holly.
    What a relief to know we aren't here trying to get His love, to enjoy it as freely given!
