“God loves you!” You’ve heard it a thousand times before. But what does that truly mean?
We can often feel like we must earn God’s love, that we are unworthy of his concern for us. But we are called to reject those lies, break free from an orphan spirit, and embrace the adoption that the heavenly Father offers each and every one of us.
Today Fr. Mark-Mary explores the dangers of living with an orphan spirit, always trying to earn love and acceptance. You are not debtors. You are not tenants, renting the Kingdom of God. No, you are heirs and therefore adopted sons and daughters of a loving Father!
