Loved

Heavenly Father,

You have searched me, and you know me. You are intimately antiquated with all my ways. There is nowhere I can hide and nothing I can do to escape your searching gaze. My helplessness and vulnerability before you are beyond my imagining. This terrifies me, and yet in the very moment of my terror, you love me without reservation. I am loved by one who knows me, truly knows me. I have nothing hidden, no pretense, and still, your love freely flows. It is beyond my reckoning. In my diseased state, I find it hard to love myself and you, in the perfect place to condemn, offer perfect acceptance. Thank you, Lord, that your judgment is the truth and not my own.

In the name of the one who does not condemn. Amen.
