Greatest Love of All

I’ve had some very impactful moments in my life and I pray you have too. I was 26 when my mom did a 30 day treatment program to gain sobriety. Part of that process was a “family week”, where we joined her and had the opportunity to heal somethings in our life. Things between my mom and I, things within myself from other circumstances. It changed my life. It removed a ball and chain that had become part of my life.

The last thing they did before we left on the final day was play Whitney Houston’s “The Greatest Love”. Yesterday as I did some work on my limiting beliefs, this song became part of getting rid of those. Here is the part of the song that resonates with me so strongly:

Because the greatest

Love of all is happening to me

I found the greatest

Love of all inside of me

The greatest love of all

Is easy to achieve

Learning to love yourself

It is the greatest love of all

I believe the children are our future

Teach them well and let them lead the way

Show them all the beauty they possess inside

Give them a sense of pride to make it easier

Let the children’s laughter remind us how we used to be

We are that child too! We need to remember all the beauty we possess inside us. The Bible tells us how special we were made. God only made one of each of us. Celebrate your beauty, your abilities, your desires, your passions and the One who gave them all to you. Be authentically the person He made you to be.

Psalms 139:19

For You created my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother’s womb.

Father, may we remember how special you made each and everyone of us. May we seek to be all you made us to be. Please remove limiting beliefs and help us to be authentically who You made us! Amen

I am a 56 yr old widow, who previously had been divorced twice. I have two adult children from my first marriage and 4 step children. People think I'm strong but it's just that I have deep faith roots. God is my Potter molding and shaping me, and refining me through the fiery kiln of life. God has made me beautiful and the strength people see is from Him. With each difficulty in life I remember: Jeremiah 29:11 "I know the plans I have for you says the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you."
