be loved

"We become what we love and who we love shapes what we become."

- Saint Clare of Assisi

be loved...
...beloved

stay present, accept each moment, receive each moment
as gift, as grace, as given
through Him, with Him, and in Him

do not keep remembering what was
do not to keep imagining what may be

stay present, stop re-creating, stop waiting

live in this moment
for this moment is all that is
and whether it hurts and all I want is for it to stop
or whether the living becomes comfortable once again

accept it all...as given
the past, the present, the future
then the doubt about what was, the fear of what may never be
and even the hurt and hate can be replaced with love
because I cannot hate my God

if I believe all that is and was and ever shall be...came from Him
if I remember that all I ever had, that all I do have, and that all I ever will have
comes
from the almighty, ever living and ever loving God
if it comes from Love
the love of God
the God who loves
and for some reason trusts me enough to have given me so much
to have given
and to have forgiven
then
those moments
those days
they were all given
and
this moment
this day
this life is given

by the hand of my loving Father
for His purpose

and so I trust Him

I cannot understand why
           for His thoughts are not my thoughts
           and His ways are not my ways
           for as the heavens are higher than the earth
           so are His ways higher than my ways
           and His thoughts than my thoughts

           for as the rain comes down
           and the snow from heaven
           and do not return there
           but water the earth
           and make it bring forth and bud

           so shall His word be that goes forth forth from His mouth
           it shall not return to Him void
           but it shall accomplish what He pleases
           and it shall prosper in the thing for which He sent it
He has spoken
"Let Me..."
and He shall accomplish......

I shall only trust and receive

for He is
and so I live...

He is with me, in me
He has forgiven me
He loves me

oh I pray He is..........
