Dear Beloved,
When you look in the mirror what do you see? Do you only see the scars of the horrors done to you? Or the labels the world has given you? My precious child, would you take a moment and dare to see what I see - the little girl inside you who was always meant to be, just screaming to be free.
When the world sees "worst of sinners" and "unworthy", I still see the you I created to blossom and flourish with purpose for the here and now. Long before the darkness consumed you and tore away your innocence, I was there - dreaming of your beauty and grace. And this glorious version of you is still who I see under the judgement from others you wear.
This was never how I intended it to be.
I know it is so painful to have the people you desperately want to love you reject you over and over. Those who claim My name and yet treat My treasured daughters like cheap trading cards. I know what this level of betrayal feels like because I came to a world that I desperately loved, and it rejected me too.
I know you are hesitant to trust when loyalty is a word long trampled in the dirt, but I promise you with a level of integrity far beyond your comprehension, I will never reject you. You are worth far more than rubies, more precious than gold to Me. I do not weigh your worth by man’s standards. Your worth is not in your sexuality, or youth. Not your monetary value or strength. Or the children you might bear or the title you could wear. No, I only see a priceless princess. MY daughter. MY Beloved. And oh, how I treasure you!
You are vibrant. Worthy. And loved. So very loved. Loved beyond reason. And when you doubt this love could ever exist, just look to the cross. See My hands and feet. See My tears, My blood. I did it all for you. I bore the shame given to you by others. It was never yours to bear. I never wanted you to experience this pain. Oh, how My heart breaks for you. My lamb.
Dear darling daughter, would you look again at your reflection with eyes of hope and compassion. See what I see. See with courage the woman I made you to be. A woman of strength and valor. A warrior with exquisite beauty. See a woman loved without having to give or do anything at all. And lastly, see Me with you, behind and beside and before you. It is I who will mend the broken places. It is I who will wipe your tears. When others say you are too far gone, it is My righteous right hand that will hold your head high and be the glory all around you.
If you believe I am indeed the One who created you, then can you dare to believe what I see above all the rest? Because I do indeed see you - unique and magnificent just as you are.
Come with Me. Drop the shame, your past, the guilt and the names they gave you. Take my hand as we begin a new adventure, a fresh start. Today I invite you to be free as simply My Beloved.
Love, El Roy - The God who sees you
