You are loved.

I wrote this for one of my friends today, but figured that it could serve as a reminder to all of us.

You are so loved.  I hope you know that.  If not, then please let me take the time to remind you...you are the daughter/son of the most high King.  There is no greater honor this side of Heaven.  He has personally chosen you and chased after you and made you His own.   He is so in love with you that He sent His only Son, so that you could have life.  He is so in love with you that He flows grace down from Heaven into your heart.  He is so in love with you that He created the sunrise and sunset, the moon and the stars, the oceans and the mountains, as a reminder to you that He makes all things beautiful.  Because you are beautiful.  He requires all of you; even the parts that you try to bury deep within yourself.  He wants all of you so that He can take you in His arms and whisper, "I love you."  He wants you to know that He will walk you through the valleys and push you to the top of the mountain.  He wants you to know that YOU ARE LOVED!
