You. . . were created to be loved. So for you to live as if you were unloved is a limitation, not the other way around. . . Living unloved is like clipping a bird's wing and removing its ability to fly. . . A bird is not defined by being grounded but by his ability to fly. Remember this, humans are defined not by their limitations, but by the intentions I have for them; not by what they seem to be, but by everything it means to be created in my image. Love is NOT the limitation; love is the flying. I AM love.
