Oratio Divina: Beloved Child Of God

My dear beloved
child of God
you are one of one
a miracle of miracles
a thing of wonder
and beauty
none like you
has ever existed before
nor ever will exist again
compare yourself to no one
for God made you
unique in body
mind and heart
a singular soul
amongst singular souls
to be yourself
your divine self
unashamedly
unapologetically
for a purpose
only you can fulfill
oh you glorious
divine image bearer
you
~Robert Van Valkenburgh

Reflection:
Where in your life do you feel invited to embrace your God-given uniqueness more fully and courageously?

Scripture:
“I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.” — Psalm 139:14
