WELCOME! SPIRITUAL RECOLLECTION 2023 Session 2: “YOU ARE LOVED… Do you love yourself? John 6:12 – Jesus said, “Gather up the fragments, that nothing be wasted.” Numbers 11:14-17 – Moses said he couldn’t go on. He had reached his limit. Psalm 139 – God sees in the dark as well as in the light. We cannot hide anything from Him. Jeremiah 1:5 – Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you! Expecting perfection out of yourself brings a pressure into your life that can often be devastating. STOP BEING SO HARD ON YOURSELF – WE ALL HAVE FAULTS. Galatians 6:5 – Every person will have to bear his own load of faults. 1. God has taken away the judgments against you. 2. We don’t need to experience fear any more. 3. In His love, He will be silent and make no mention of past sins or even recall them. Hebrews 4:15-16 – Jesus understands our weaknesses; therefore, come BOLDLY to the throne to receive mercy and grace. IF GOD CAN LOVE YOU, EVEN WITH YOUR FAULTS, THEN YOU SHOULD CERTAINLY LOVE YOURSELF. IF YOU DON’T LOVE YOURSELF, YOUR LOVE WALK CAN GO NO FURTHER. Reflectionnaire: 1) Do I accept who I am? Which part of myself that I find difficult to accept? 2) Was there an event in my life which hinder me to appreciate and love myself? 3) What graces did I receive upon loving myself? SHARING TIME Do refrain from interrupting. 2.Do not give advices or patronize each other. 3.Do not judge and keep all sharing confidential. 1. • C:\Users\user\Music\Vespers 3 LOVE NOTE NAME OF THE PERSON I LOVE YOU I ADMIRE YOU I THANK YOU I FORGIVE YOU I AM SORRY I TRUST YOU I BELIEVE IN YOU I AM SORRY I FOUGHT WITH YOU.
