Love Notes #21

Dear beloved child of God,

I am writing to say to you today that you are loved and beloved.  You are not alone, and even in those moments when it feels loneliest, you are not alone.  Many people are praying for you and are with you.  In moments when things seem impossibly hard, moments do pass into new moments.  Life sometimes can feel like something to endure, but moments come when it can and does feel lighter.  If you are in a moment that feels like it needs to be endured, that moment will pass.  Be encouraged and take heart.  Joy is real.  My prayer is that you feel joy – for you are worthy of that joy and you are loved!
