Hello, God. It's me, Mara.

We're dearly loved

You know, Lord, sometimes, friends share interesting things; This for Valentines Day! Just quoting: You should probably tape this to your bathroom mirror where one could read it every day. You may not realize it, but it's 100% true.

1. There are at least two people in this world that you would die for.

2. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way.

3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to be just like you.

4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don't like you.

5. Every night, someone thinks about you before they go to sleep.

6. You mean the world to someone.

7. You are special and unique.

8. Someone that you don't even know exists loves you.

9. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it.

10. When you think the world has turned its back on you take another look.

11. Always remember the compliments you received! Forget about the rude remarks.

K. M. added, "My greatest hope is that we will believe how chosen, set apart and dearly loved we are by Jesus. And that we'll discover a new set of virtues we don't have to fight, but simply get to wear. The Apostle Paul uses the metaphor of putting on the virtues like you put on your clothes, but for much of my life I felt more like I was wrestling them on. Like in your fitting room, your arms are above your head, your start what appears to be a frantic, shimmy into an outfit that should have had an extra button, zipper, or simple be a larger size. I don't think Paul had that in mind: Colossians 3:12: 'Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.'"

Love, Mara
