I believe that I am beginning to love myself: truly to accept that I need nothing in order to be happy. I need nothing. I have the Lord, and He is enough for me. And I shall always seek to love Thee with all my strength. Jesus, I love Thee; what Thou hast done echoes even to this day in our hearts. I love Thee greatly and desire always to have Thee in my heart, always to remember Thee in my thoughts and to live in Thy presence. Thy love transforms me, each day, into a better person, more forbearing, calmer, and with far greater peace. It is in the trust I have in Thee that I find all the peace within my being. I feel peace, I am at peace. Thank Thee, Jesus, for having answered my prayer.
