27The eternal God is your(A) dwelling place,[a]
and underneath are the everlasting arms.[b]
And he thrust out the enemy before you
and said, Destroy.
27The eternal God is your(A) dwelling place,[a]
and underneath are the everlasting arms.[b]
And he thrust out the enemy before you
and said, Destroy.
"Do you know what it means to have the everlasting arms underneath you? ....The arms of God provide a lifetime guarantee that He will take care of the details of our lives, ensuring that we won't make choices that cause us to sink to a place He doesn't want us to be. You can relax and enjoy the water because God has you in His arms."

"I know you. I created you. I have loved you from your mother's womb. You have fled - as you now know - from my love, but i love you nevertheless and not-the-less however far you flee. It is i who sustain your very power of fleeing, and I will never finally let you go. i accept you as you are. you are forgiven. i know all your sufferings. i have always known them. far beyond your understanding, when you suffer, i suffer. i also know all the little tricks by which you try to hide the ugliness you have made of your life from yourself and others. but you are beautiful. you are beautiful more deeply within that you can see. you are beautiful because you are yourself, in the unique person that only you are, reflect already something of the beauty of my holiness in a way which shall never end. you are beautiful also because i, and i alone, see the beauty you shall become. through the transforming power of my love which is made perfect in weakness you shall become perfectly beautiful in a uniquely irreplaceable way, which neither you nor i will work out alone, for we shall work it out together."
