June 19 Evening Devotional

His beloved.
I am his beloved.
It seems…
ㅤ odd.
It is…
ㅤ unexpected.
That I am simply…

Loved

Part of me resists…
Insists…
That I must earn his love.
That I must prove myself acceptable.
Lovable.

But his truth is,
ㅤ he simply loves me.
Me.
As I am.
Where I am.
Right…

Now

I wonder why,
ㅤ but it remains a mystery.
I wonder what he sees in me,
ㅤ but I am not the reason.
He is.
He simply loves me because…

It is a…
ㅤ Mystery

Nevertheless,
ㅤ I am his beloved.
And he is mine.
Today.
Tomorrow.
Forever.
