she is loved by her beloved.

The Lord gave me the title of this blog about a month ago when He showed me in Songs of Solomon.

I didn't understand the fullness of this revelation until recently. 

To anyone who has been through or has felt heartache, depression, hurt, pain, unworthiness, low self-esteem, brokenness or anything else: this is for you. 

When you are left with nothing, God replenishes you. When you feel so discouraged that you can't even get up, He reaches His arm out to you so you can cling on to Him. When you can't even look Him in the eye because you realize how filthy you are, He sweetly smiles at you like you never did anything wrong.

Just like the woman caught in adultery in John chapter 8, we have all sinned and have fallen short of the glory of God. Jesus knew that she was sinful, yet he chose not to condemn her but offered her His grace so that she may have the opportunity to walk with Him in righteousness.

That is love.

The same concept goes for us as well. 

I--yes, I alone--will blot out your sins for my own sake and will never think of them again..(Isaiah 43:25) He just wants us to hold His hand and allow Him to lead us into holiness. That is how much God loves you. 

You are loved by your beloved regardless of your past, your failures and your short comings. 
You are a child of God and He sees you beautiful and worthy. You are fearfully and wonderfully made.  The one who created you in your mother's womb thinks about you more than the grains of sand on the earth. (Psalm 139)

YOU are loved by your beloved. 
Take courage and hope in that.

His, 
M
