because you are

Just about all of us grew to understand our value through what we did. (accomplishments, abilities, behavior, etc.)

Being able to ingest one is loved not because of what one has done, or what one can do, but simply because – one is- is the most healing, awakening, and empowering thing that may ever happen to a person. I believe the Divine offers this to us. Freely.

The question is can we offer people the hope they need by truthfully telling them, “No matter what you’ve done, or what you do, I will love you–because you matter. You are the only you. There is nothing you can do to change that,”?
