To Be Loved As You Truly Are

There’s something life changing about knowing that you are loved as you are.

You don’t have to pretend like you’re someone else.

You don’t have to always try so hard.

You don’t need to be anxious each time you mess up, thinking you’d be rejected after all for that.

You just live as you are.

You laugh as you laugh.

You cry like you’ve always cried.

And you won’t be judged.

You won’t be cast away.

You’d just be loved,

And you’d be delighted upon

Just for being you,

For the beautiful

And wonderful person

That you are.

“To be loved but not known is comforting but superficial. To be known and not loved is our greatest fear. But to be fully known and truly loved is…like being loved by God. It is what we need more than anything.” – Timothy Keller

Are you searching for hope? Download the e-book today - "Where Hope Can Be Found". The thing about hope is that it’s a positive force that shines the most when it’s dark. When everything’s going well, we hardly notice it’s there. But when things go against us, when our dreams fade and when we see no immediate reprieve from our troubles, that’s when hope does its best work for us.
