Why B Loved?

We are the beloved of the Lord.  In chapter 33 of Deuteronomy, Moses speaks a blessing over the Israelites. About Benjamin he says (verse 12), 
"Let the beloved of the LORD rest secure in him, 
   for he shields him all day long, 
   and the one the LORD loves rests between his shoulders."

"Lamb of God" by James Seward

There are so many other facets to the reason I chose this name, but this is the apex.  If we remember nothing else, we must keep in mind that the Lord loves us as his own.  No matter what the situation, he is in control AND he does all things out of his unconditional love for us.  No attack of the enemy, no lie, no report can defeat us if we rest on the shoulders of the Almighty!
