Jesus loves me, this I know?

I am accepted, even when I feel unacceptable.
I am loved, even when I feel unlovable.
I am desired, even when I feel undesirable.
I am forgiven, even when I feel unforgivable.
I am a child and heir, even when I feel abandoned.
I am cherished, even when I feel forgotten.
I am held, even when I feel alone.
I am safe, even when I feel afraid.
I am free to be weak, even when I feel like I'm expected to be strong.
I am free to fail, even when I feel like I'm expected to be perfect.

When God looks at me, He sees His Son.
Not all the ways I fall short.
Not all my sin.
Not all of my idols,
but His perfect and blameless Son.
I am free to fail, because He didn't.
I am free to be weak, because He is strong.
I am free to find rest in the core truth that I am infinitely loved by the Creator of the world.
Jesus. Loves. ME.
Jesus LOVES me.
JESUS loves me.
