you are beloved!

*a child of God.

Whenever we feel insufficient, that is the time when we must come out of the hole of our own self-pity. That is when we must be humble enough to realize that by ourselves, it is true. We are without merit. But we must realize, also, that we are loved by a great and just God. We are created in His own image, in His love, under His protection. You are sufficient, you are good enough, you are beautiful.
