Being loved Quote by Henri Nouwen

“As those who are chosen, blessed, broken, and given, we are called to live our lives with a deep inner joy and peace. It is the life of the Beloved, lived in a world constantly trying to convince us that the burden is on us to prove that we are worthy of being loved.” quote by Henri Nouwen — Download Open image
