Kindle Notes & Highlights
It certainly is not easy to hear that voice in a world filled with voices that shout: You are no good, you are ugly; you are worthless; you are despicable, you are nobody—unless you can demonstrate the opposite.”
These negative voices are so loud and so persistent that it is easy to believe them. That’s the great trap. It is the trap of self-rejection.
I tend to blame myself—not just for what I did, but for who I am. My dark side says: “I am no good. . . . I deserve to be pushed aside, forgotten, rejected, and abandoned.”
a much deeper human darkness: the darkness of not feeling truly welcome in human existence.
Learning you were not wanted from birth.
Being the Beloved expresses the core truth of our existence.
We are the Beloved. We are intimately loved long before our parents, teachers, spouses, children, and friends loved or wounded us.
I look at you with infinite tenderness and care for you with a care more intimate than that of a mother for her child.
