The other day I was watching this Andrew Peterson video for Be Kind To Yourself and the tears were streaming. The image of him singing these powerful words over his children brought such an image of God whispering to us. God says to us, ‘I love you just the way you are. Believe that I love you.’ How hard is that at times? Simply BELIEVING we are loved.
Let these lyrics wash over you as you listen to this song and BELIEVE that God loves you, has a plan for you and that you are his.
Be Kind To Yourself by Andrew Peterson
You got all that emotion that’s heaving like an ocean
And you’re drowning in a deep, dark well
I can hear it in your voice that if you only had a choice
You would rather be anyone else
I love you just the way that you are
I love the way He made your precious heart
Be kind to yourself Be kind to yourself
I know it’s hard to hear it when that anger in your spirit
Is pointed like an arrow at your chest
When the voices in your mind are anything but kind
And you can’t believe your
Father knows best
I love you just the way that you are
I love the way He’s shaping your heart
Be kind to yourself
Be kind to yourself
How does it end when the war that you’re in
Is just you against you against you
Gotta learn to love, learn to love
Learn to love your enemies too
You can’t expect to be perfect
It’s a fight you’ve gotta forfeit
You belong to me whatever you do
So lay down your weapon, darling
Take a deep breath and believe that I love you
Be kind to yourself
Be kind to yourself
Be kind to yourself
Gotta learn to love, learn to love Learn to love your enemies
Gotta learn to love, learn to love Learn to love your enemies too
