Affairs of the Soul

I rarely heed the calling to sleep. Especially not when thoughts are still actively at work. Maybe because it has become a norm to write first before retiring for the day. Actually, more of a necessity.

Hence,today I am writing a letter to myself and to everyone else as a reminder of a love that we sometimes fail to see.

"Remember that you are valiant and true. Remember when no one else loves you, God will.
He believes in you and knows what you are capable of.
He knows every single thing about you.
Remember when importance holds so much esteem in the eyes of the world,
your humble state makes you His precious one,
He walks with you in your joys and darkness,
embraces you and declares you not as a burden but a blessing.
He has sent you a star to guide you through, this peril is never meant to last.
God be with you, be brave child.
Be you.
Love is the greatest power He has bestowed upon you.
Where there is love, let there be forgiveness.
God is the treasure in our poverty-stricken life.

Beauty may leave us,
Wealth may disappear,
but a man, yet not a man,
had loved us so much,
that he became one of us,
sealing the ultimate sacrifice of redemption."

To Jesus Christ, because you choose the nails.

"I will bear your dark side," He promises.
And the path to the cross tells us exactly how far God will go to call us back.

God loves that face in the mirror.

En cette foi je veux vivre et mourir
In this faith I wish to live and to die. -Francois Villon
