Where do you have to go to remember that you are someone's 'beloved'? A parent's lap? A spouse's embrace? A cup of coffee with a friend? In your grandmother's kitchen?
Jesus was down in the water of the Jordan River the first time he heard God's blessing, 'You are my beloved.' The second time he was on the top of a mountain. I suspect that when he was on the cross he strained to remember those moments when God's love and embrace held him close.
No matter our age, each of us faces a moment when knowing that we are beloved of someone calms our soul. Never forget: you are always God's beloved. Listen for God's voice calling you home.
