Hey
I hope you are well and safe these days.
Lately, I’ve been trying to focus on the good and happy things around us.
For today, I’d like to talk to you about what it means to be a gift.
For me, a gift is something precious, valuable, and needs to be taken cared of. It is given by someone to you because you are dear to that sender.
Even when things don’t go our way, I’d like to remind you that you are important.
You are a gift of God to others 😇
He loves you so much that He wants to share your wonderful being with those around you.
There are days that I feel lonely and discouraged because of what has been happening around me personally 😔
Failures, rejection, disappointments make me feel down and think that I am not worthy of love or acceptance from others.
A workshop on Theology of the Body reminded me that being made in the image and likeness of God makes us lovable just the way we are.
We are not defined by our past, our achievements, failures, and mistakes.
We can be a gift and blessing to others despite our shortcomings.
You are a gift. You are special. You were created by Love Himself.
I end this message with a quote from a recent book I’ve read:
“You are already worthy of being loved. You don’t need to be convinced of your self-worth by taking on society’s demand and living up to its expectations. You already are a precious being and deserve to be loved and cared for.”
Please share with us at Beyond Kilig, what made you feel special recently?
Stay safe.
