“This is my own dear Son, with whom I am pleased” Matthew 3:17, 4:1 “You are my own dear Son. I am pleased with you” Mark 1:11 “This is my own dear Son - Listen to Him” Mark 9:7
Let God's voice reverberate in your heart, “YOU ARE MY BELOVED”
When was the time somebody told you:
• GOD is offering us a relationship. You are my beloved, allow me to love you and make you my beloved. • Our relationships are all about that, giving each other the gift of our belovedness.
YOU ARE NOT GOOD ENOUGH YOU ARE UGLY YOU ARE IMPOSSIBLE YOU ARE DESPICABLE YOU ARE NOBODY
“The greatest trap in our life is not success, populaity, or power, but SELF-REJECTION.” LIFE OF THE BELOVED Henri Nouwen
SELF-REJECTION • greatest enemy of spiritual life • despises the sacred voice that calls us the “BELOVED”.

TAKEN BLESSED BROKEN GIVEN
TAKEN We have to acknowledge that we are so loved by God. Another word for “take” is “choose”. As Children of God, we are God's chosen ones.
BLESSED As God's beloved, we are blessed. If God is blessing us, then God speaks well, feels well, thinks well of us. We need to affirm one another, thus bless one another.
BLESSED We can bless one another in two ways: •PRAYER •CULTIVATION OF PRESENCE
BROKEN All of us has an experience of brokeness. Our brokeness is ours. HOwever, our brokenness touch our uniqueness and our most intimate individuality.
BROKEN How can we respond to our brokenness? •FACE IT SQUARELY AND BEFRIEND IT. •PUT OUR BROKENNESS UNDER THE BLESSING.
We are blessed and broken so as to be given. Our chosen, blessed, and broken have their fulfillment in being given.

MY MOTHER ONLY HAD ONE EYE
My mom only had one eye. I hated her… She was such an embarrassment. She cooked for students and teachers to support the family. There was this one day during elementary school where my mom came to say hello to me. I was so embarrassed. How could she do this to me? I ignored her, threw her a hateful look and ran out. The next day at school one of my classmates said, “EEEE, your mom only has one eye!”
I wanted to bury myself. I also wanted my mom to just disappear. I confronted her that day and said, “If you’re only gonna make me a laughing stock, why don’t you just die?” My mom did not respond… I didn’t even stop to think for a second about what I had said, because I was full of anger. I was oblivious to her feelings.
I wanted out of that house, and have nothing to do with her. So I studied real hard, got a chance to go abroad to study. Then, I got married. I bought a house of my own. I had kids of my own. I was happy with my life, my kids and the comforts. Then one day, my Mother came to visit me. She hadn’t seen me in years and she didn’t even meet her grandchildren.
When she stood by the door, my children laughed at her, and I yelled at her for coming over uninvited. I screamed at her, “How dare you come to my house and scare my children! GET OUT OF HERE! NOW!!!” And to this, my mother quietly answered, “Oh, I’m so sorry. I may have gotten the wrong address.” – and she disappeared out of sight.
One day, a letter regarding a school reunion came to my house. So I lied to my wife that I was going on a business trip. After the reunion, I went to the old shack just out of curiosity. My neighbors said that she died. I did not shed a single tear. They handed me a letter that she had wanted me to have. “My dearest son, I think of you all the time. I’m sorry that I came to your house and scared your children.
I was so glad when I heard you were coming for the reunion. But I may not be able to even get out of bed to see you. I’m sorry that I was a constant embarrassment to you when you were growing up. You see……..when you were very little, you got into an accident, and lost your eye. As a mother, I couldn’t stand watching you having to grow up with one eye. So I gave you mine.
I was so proud of my son who was seeing a whole new world for me, in my place, with that eye. With all my love to you, Your mother.”
MARY AS... 1. God's Beloved • Chosen - Lk. 1:35-37 • Blessed - Lk. 1:31-33 • Broken - Lk. 1:34-35 • Given - Lk. 1:38-40
Like Mary, you are chosen for “something”. In saying “YES”, Mary risks her whole self. Have you somehow identified what God is caling you to do in building the Kingdom of God?
MARY AS... 2. Living as God's Beloved Mary by loving Jesus lived a daily life of being God's beloved.
• How are you called to live your being God's beloved everyday? • How do you love Jesus in your daily life? • Does your life speaks of God's love for you and for others?
