When was the last time you heard God tell you how he feels about you? When was the last time God spoke your name and reminded you of how delighted he is that you are his son or daughter? If it has been a while, make time right now to listen to the One who calls you his Beloved.
Listen not to the many voices—both within and around—that will assault, attack, and accuse you today. Listen only to the voice of the One who made you, knows you, and loves you. Be defined not by what people say or think about you, but by what Jesus says and thinks about you.
Shhh. Hush, my child. Listen. Can you hear it? It is the song of delight and affection that I sing over you. The noisy world and your fragile heart make it difficult to hear at times, but it is there. Always there. In fact, it never stops. Just listen and you will hear. ~ABBA
