From Plate To Soul

Good morning…

If I sat behind your car at a red light, content with my ‘Listener’ license plate, I might discover these words inviting me from your personalized plate into the center of your soul.

‘Caregiver.’
‘Hopeful.’
‘Mother.’
‘Loving.’
‘Teacher.’
‘Sunshine.’
‘Mover.’
‘Quiet.’
‘Saved.’
‘Learner.’
‘Sensitive.’
‘Encourager.’
‘Encourager.’
‘Encourager.’
‘Encourager.’
One of you wrote, “Before children, my word was ‘Thinker.’ Today I think it is ‘Feeler.’ Not sure if I might change again once my kids go on to college… I wonder if different seasons in life bring a different word…”

Whether we are a loving caregiver or an encouraging mother, a hopeful teacher or a saved mover, a sensitive learner or a quiet, sunny thinker-feeler, it dawns on me right now: the one word birthing contentment in every soul today is ‘BELOVED.’

[I am writing] to all who are beloved of God…called to be saints (God’s people) and set apart for a sanctified life, [that is, set apart for God and His purpose]: Grace to you and peace [inner calm and spiritual well-being] from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 1:7, AMP).

…Sue…
