Fiercely LovedSample

You are uniquely loved because you were uniquely created. Unique means “the sole example of, prototype or only one,” and, my favorite definition, “without equal or rival.” Our Father God stands alone, without rivals, so we shouldn’t be surprised that in his eyes, we are daughters without rivals. This eliminates every reason that we should ever compete with one another.

You are the only example of you!

You are the beginning and the end of you. There is no rival for the way you express God’s love to others or for the way he expresses his love to you.

No one can do you like you!

God uniquely created your DNA and knit your frame in secret so he could surprise the world. He authored how your heart expresses itself; he was the architect of your smile and the melody of your voice; he made all your features with the fondest thoughts of only you in mind. He celebrated along with your parents your first smile and watched with affection your first steps.

Our God is intimate. He knows our fears and speaks directly into our spirits.

When you can run and hide in him, he will speak truth to the most intimate places of your heart:

You are so much more than what you or others can see or touch.

You are so much more than what you’ve known or done.

You are so much more than what others think about you or even what you think about yourself. You could never be accurately measured by what you own or lack.

You are more than the span of your years, and you cannot be tethered to the adages of young or old.

You are more than single, divorced, widowed, or married.

You are far more than your gender.

You are a child of the eternal realm.

Because of this tender, intentional care, there are multiple facets of your life that express love uniquely. He wove all these exceptional aspects and specific talents into the package of you, his daughter. He didn’t have another daughter in mind when he fashioned you . . . you are his delight.
