There is no surprise more magical than the surprise of being loved: It is God's finger on man's shoulder.

There is no surprise more magical than the surprise of being loved.

Many times in the Old Testament, God refers to human beings as His beloved. But when God called Jesus His beloved, Jesus did something truly remarkable: He believed Him. And He lived every moment of His life fully convinced of His identity.

Now do you understand why it's so important for you to grasp your belovedness? God won't change the world through angels or through ideas; He will change the world through His sons and daughters. If you don't know who you are, if you don’t know your true identity, you won't touch others on His behalf.

A poet who is a bad man is a degraded being, baser and more culpable than a bad man who is not a poet.
