What makes it difficult for you to love?
Self-rejection. When I forget that I am loved then it becomes difficult to let the love flow from me. It is easy for me to forget that I am loved, to consider my self unworthy, to beat myself up over mistakes, to tell myself that no one cares. This is a dark road that is easy to walk down, but even when it feels like there is an absence of love that is not the case. God loves me and knew me before I was born. I am loved by my family and friends. Acts of love come my way from them and even from strangers. When I remove that self-rejection, embrace my own personal belovedness, then love flows more freely.
Lord, you have known me and loved me since I was in my mother's womb, help to remember this love so that it can shine forth in a world that desperately needs love. Amen.
