Monday Words for the Soul~April 16~Chosen Beloved

“When you feel chosen, you create messages about yourself that are congruent with God’s truth about who you are: you are beautiful, you are special, and you are beloved.  When you are not chosen, you create distorted beliefs about yourself that are not consistent with whom God has created you to be:  I am not enough, I am not loveable, and I fall short of others.  You desire to be chosen for who you are, and yet many of you go to great lengths to be things you are not in order to be chosen.” ~Seven Desires of Every Heart by Mark and Debra Laaser
