Maya Angelou Simple Truth About Faith, Purpose And Gratitude

A simple sentence. A life-changing realization.

In a powerful conversation with Oprah Winfrey, the late Maya Angelou recalled a moment that transformed the way she understood herself and her faith.

While studying Lessons in Truth, Angelou was asked by her mentor, Frederick Wilkerson, to repeat three simple words: “God loves me.”

She repeated the words until their meaning truly sank in.

Angelou later reflected on the overwhelming realization that the same force that created the stars, rivers, and all of creation could love her personally.

For the celebrated poet, author, and civil rights icon, that understanding became a source of humility, gratitude, confidence, and purpose.

Sometimes, the most powerful truth is also the simplest one.

God loves me.
