Content notes (or transcription) from beginning of the recording: I hope that during this renewal each of us will discover how beautiful we are and how much we are loved by God. We have a mission to discover our beauty. Many people don't believe they are loved by God. Children know they are loved but then what happens? We must also discover our brokenness, that the outer world is also our inner world. The challenge is to accept it rather than just be angry with it. So sometimes we can deny our beauty and sometimes our brokenness. The secret for humans is the transformation of brokenness into trust.
