Do you feel unworthy? Undeserving to be loved, to feel enough, to fulfil your dreams?
A scientific study performed worldwide during the last 40 years revealed that most people, regardless of their background, live feeling unworthy.
If you are one of them, I know something else about you. If you feel unloved or unworthy, chances are you also don't care, don't believe or you are just not interested in your truthful relationship with your Heavenly Father.
Because you looked away from God, you forgot who you are.
Do you not know that what you behold, you become? You become what you look upon.
When you look at the world, you can only struggle to find something to make you feel valuable. Yet you cannot find anything because everything this world has to give you is worthless and valueless. You are not of this world, but as you look upon it to find value, you become what look upon: emptiness.
When you look to Heaven, you remember your Home. You remember you are not an orphan in this world. You remember you belong to your Heavenly Father who loves you and has never left you. He loved you even when you turned your eyes away from Him and ran away from home. Return.
As you behold and keep your eyes on Heaven, you become what you look upon: Love. Behold Jesus and live. "

Love is the greatest mystery of the universe, and the link that literally connects us to God. Let me explain.
The source of Love is God, and Love springs forth from Him. In this world Love shines in our hearts, and when expressed, it takes the shapes and forms that are most needed in the moment: a helping hand, a shoulder or a tight embrace, a glass of water, a few coins, a place to sleep, forgiveness, mercy, friendship, truth.
Love gushes forth from Heaven, flows through our hearts and takes the form most needed in the moment. Our only purpose is to be the channel of God's love into the world.
When we love, we merely open up the gates so that our Father's love can flow through us and pour unto another.
When we judge another as unworthy or undeserving of our love, we shut the gates and block the flow. That's all we do. We hurt ourselves and nothing more.
If you express love in your actions, you feel this love yourself. If you withhold love, you feel emptiness and pain. The power of your life lies hidden in this choice. "
