"God loves each of us as if there were only one of us." St. Augustine

Sometimes we fail to embraced this wondrous truth of revelation. In fact, the Evil One attempts to convince of the opposite. For if we believe in our heart this truth of God's personal love for us, then we would have a reason not to sin. Each of us is called to accept love and to love. That is part of our spiritual DNA. We were created, redeemed, and sanctified out of love, so that we may extend love to others. When we don't fully believe that God loves us in a unique way, we open ourselves to all sorts of problems. But when this truth is deeply rooted in our heart, then we see ourselves and life differently. God loves you as you are here and now, through and through. It is not something we have to earn. It is a pure gift.
