Lift up your head. John 16 says the Father himself loves you. In the message version it reads “Then you can make your requests directly to him in relation to this life I’ve revealed to you. I won’t continue making requests of the Father on your behalf. I won’t need to. Because you’ve gone out on a limb, committed yourselves to love and trust in me, believing I came directly from the Father, the Father loves you directly”

“Behold the One beholding you, and smiling.” Anthony De Mello
