                     Draw from Me

I love you child. I have chosen you and you are awesome in My sight.  
There are those who would say hurtful things to you.  They do not know 
what they are saying because the light of truth has not yet shone in 
their hearts.  It is foolishness that speaks through them -- do not be 
distracted by that, for it cannot harm you.  I am protecting you from
all sides.

I love you, child, I love your coming in and your going out.  I love your 
ups and your downs -- in fact I love everything about you because I am in 
love with you. Draw from My love that I freely offer to you.  You do not 
need the love of others.  My grace is sufficient for you.  They cannot 
love like I do.  They cannot support like I do.  They are not Me.  

But I can and I will. I am your support and your strength.  I am your 
strong tower of defense.  You don't need the approval and the love of 
others, for you have Mine unconditionally.  I approve of you, child.  You 
are beautiful to Me.  You are amazing in My sight. You are wanted, accepted, 
acknowledged and approved.  

I am here, right here by your side to love and comfort and strengthen you. 
Draw from Me.
