You Are The Only One

Less than 1 minute Reading Time: Mins

Do you sometimes wish you were somebody other than yourself? Someone more beautiful or wiser than you or… more perfect? This imaginary perfection is not what God has designed you to be. This plan will encourage you to throw out that image and embrace fully who you are. Start this five-day plan by Loop for Women devotional to love yourself just as God made you.

Day 3

My darling, you don’t have to worry about how to distinguish yourself, with Me. You don’t have to worry about standing out, being noticed. You don’t have to try so hard. I see you. You can’t make Me love you more. 

It is true that things hold you back from receiving my love for you. You hold on so tightly, too tightly to fear. You think too much about figuring out what you don’t know. You stop seeing what is right in front of you, what I’ve given you to do, to live out, to experience during this moment. 

This day, this gift right here. Open up the gift, my daughter. The gift of this moment with Me. 

I love to guide you, to show you bits of what is ahead. I tell you what you need to know. I whisper who you are into your heart, and you rise up, delighted in and true—truly you—when you let go of trying to be like her . . . or like her, over there. Be fully you, whom I’ve created you to be. 

I put people around you to guide you, shepherd you towards Me. And I ask you to shepherd children to Me, too. I don’t leave you alone, for I have good plans for you. Plans for you unlike any other.

You are unlike anyone else, my daughter. See what’s around you. Know I see you. Live like you know who you are.

 

Accompanying bible verses

AMP Version

Isaiah 58:11

11 
“And the Lord will continually guide you,
And satisfy your soul in scorched and dry places,
And give strength to your bones;
And you will be like a watered garden,
And like a spring of water whose waters do not fail.
