Recently, I forgot to love myself for the gifts God has given me. 

And then God, “being rich in mercy” (Ephesians 2:4) reminds me that “we are His workmanship” (Eph. 2:8) and I take a deep breath and inhale as we are “imitators of God, as beloved children; and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma” (2 Cor. 2:15) and rest in knowing “Him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think,according to the power at work within us” (Eph. 3:20).

His love is amazing once more.
