You are already accepted in the Beloved.

Reflections

You are already accepted in the Beloved. Let that not stay just an idea — let it become the breath you take next.

Scripture

Ephesians 1:6

Scripture

Ephesians 1:6

Carmelite Voice

St. Thérèse of Lisieux

You do not have to resolve the need to be accepted tonight. Staying here, in His company, choosing to be honest — that is already the beginning of healing.
