you are fully loved

 

Keep this one thing in your mind

You are fully loved

Every day, every moment

Once you understand that

You don’t live in shame

You don’t live in fear

You don’t live in guilt

You are never alone

You don’t have to be somebody great

You don’t have to fulfill some dream

You don’t have to impress anyone

You don’t have to build some kingdom for yourself

And have a long list of accomplishments

Once you know you’re loved

You won’t go looking for it

You won’t need people’s approval

You won’t chase some thrill

You won’t hunt down something

That you know won’t heal your wounded heart

Once you know you’re loved

Your heart will be healed

Your mind will be clear

Your dreams will be simple

There is only One who fully loves

And He alone is all you need

To know Him is to know love

And when you know Him

You can love others

You can show grace

You can forgive when hurt

You can endure insults

You can endure mistreatment

You can see past the moment

You can see past the pain

When you know you are loved

There is no darkness

Even in the darkest valley

Because He is your light

He is your treasure

He is your unfailing hope

He is your passion

The world and all its concerns

Is passing away

I want nothing more

Than to see His face

And rest in his presence forever.
