Thou Art Beloved — O, Beloved!

Let peace be thine first, because thou art ‘greatly beloved.’ Whatever is happening or not happening, thou are greatly beloved. The Lord loved thee or ever the earth was, He redeemed thee with the blood of His own Son, He hath called thee into fellowship with Jesus—Peace! thou art beloved, does not that give you peace? ‘Hush, my babe,’ says the mother, ‘lie still and slumber,’ and the sweetest hush in all her lullaby is the mention of her own love. So, dear child of God, be still, be calm, thou art beloved of heaven.

— ‘The Man Greatly Beloved’ - The Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit pg. 10 (C.H. Spurgeon)

O, beloved!

Do you know? You are greatly beloved.

Please don’t forget. Every precious word spoken, every thing created, every action, every divine ordination, is His sovereign purpose in making this known to you.

Every chastisement, every act of grace, every work of mercy, everything is sanctioned by God for His glory and our good.

So, beloved…do you see? We are safe.

Please, do not fear, my child. Be at peace. We are loved with an everlasting, steadfast Love.

All is well.
