GOD LOVES YOU

"He calls you by name; whoever you are, God regards you individually. He calls you by name.

He sees and understands you just as He made you. He knows what is within you; He knows all your thoughts

and feelings, all your inclinations and tastes, your strengths and your weaknesses.

He sees you in your days of joy and in your days of sorrow. He shares in your hopes and your temptations. He cares about all your anxieties and memories, and all the ups and downs of your spirit.

He has counted the hairs on your head and measured your stature. He surrounds you with His care and carries you in His arms; He lifts you up and sets you down.

He sees your true face, whether it is smiling

or bathed in tears, healthy or sick. He watches over your hands and feet with tenderness; He hears your voice, the beating of your heart, and even your breathing.

You do not love yourself more than He loves you."

John Henry Cardinal Newman
