Grappling With Divinity

Oh Lord
how easily do I forget
my divine nature
thinking I must
do something
be something
become someone
other than
your beloved child
created out of love
in the image of love
for love’s sake
how easily I forget
who I am
imagining myself separate
from love

~Robert Van Valkenburgh

How can embracing our true identity as God’s beloved children transform our understanding of self-worth and purpose?
