Henri Nouwen said, "Self-rejection is the greatest enemy of the spiritual life because it contradicts the sacred voice that calls us the 'Beloved.' Being beloved constitutes the truth of our existence." How different could our lives be if we agreed with the Sacred voice, rather than the condemning voice? We have to choose each day, sometimes hour by hour or minute by minute, which voice we will listen to: the Sacred Voice of God, or the lying, condemning voice of Satan. Romans 8:1 assures, "There is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus." (NLT)

Paul says in Romans 8:38, "And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from his love." (NLT) You, my friend, are beloved - highly thought of and adored. Rejoice today, beloved, because you will always hold that status in your Heavenly Father's heart.

My Prayer for Today:

Thank You, Lord, for Your love. May I listen to Your sacred Voice today and always. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
