In Living Loved

And all of my determination to do better, to try harder, to refuse to give in to all the world offers me are only determinations until I act on them, and when I fall, it's His strength that I fall back on.

I ran across this video the other day, and it challenged me.

So many of the things that I do are because I want to get something back for myself after someone has said or done something to cause a reaction. Reactions of anger, surprise, fear, sadness, feeling worthless or low.

What if those reactions were replaced with the knowledge that I am full of worth in Him, if all of my actions sprung from the knowledge that I. am. loved.

And living that way changes things. It's not about my ability to love Him. It's about my response to His love that came first.

It's about living loved.
