Nouwen Meditation: You are the Beloved


"There is always something in the Daily Meditations that I can relate to." - T.M.

You are the Beloved
Life is a gift. Each one of us is unique, known by name, and loved by the One who fashioned us. Unfortunately, there is a very loud, consistent, and powerful message coming to us from our world that leads us to believe that we must prove our belovedness by how we look, by what we have, and by what we can accomplish. We become preoccupied with “making it” in this life, and we are very slow to grasp the liberating truth of our origins and our finality. We need to hear the message announced and the message emboldened over and over again. Only then do we find the courage to claim it and live from it.
"What are human beings that you are mindful of them, mortals that you care for them?"

PSALM 8:4 (NRSV)
