In my prayer time today, I was meditating on a passage in Life
of the Beloved by Henri Nouwen.
"All I want to say to you is 'You are the
Beloved.'
and all that I hope is that you can hear these
words
as spoken to you with all the force and tenderness that love
can hold.
My only desire is to make these words reverberate in every
corner of your being-
'You are the Beloved.'"
Herein lies our soul strength. God's love in the center point of our being filling us,
holding us, renewing us and transforming us.
Therefore , nothing, no opposition, no problem can
shake our soul ,
no matter what our struggles, no matter what darkness appears
on the horizon,
no matter what misunderstandings or challenges,
in all our troubles,
in all our gifts,
in all our hopes and dreams,
in all our relationships,
God says: "you are the Beloved."
