Good Morning Beauties!

Don’t you just love the words “beloved” and “adored”? They are not used often in our everyday life, so I think that makes them special. Let’s take a look at their definitions. Beloved - Greatly loved, dear to the heart. Adored - Love and respect deeply, devoted to. They seem quite similar and yet slightly different. When I wrote the lyric, I used both to build on the truth of how much we are loved by God.

I didn’t hear them growing up, but found them when I found Jesus. It took me awhile to fully understand them and believe He felt this way about me. When I finally knew and believed He truly saw me as His beloved and He truly adored me, it was overwhelming. I remember at one point I told Jesus, “If you bless me any more, I will surely die.”

Why such intense feelings with the acceptance of His love? It wasn’t just the fact of always wanting to feel loved, sure that was a part of it. I think it was also the fact He saw me, the real me, understood me, and still loved everything about me, imperfections and all. He knew every sin I had committed and all the ones still left to carry out, and yet, He loved me.

What do these two words mean to you? Did you hear them growing up? Do you use them now? Do you believe God uses them for you? Please don’t move from these questions too quickly… selah.
