Ep 2.17 Knowing You're Loved... Even When People Don't Show It

Today on the podcast I chat with a dear old friend I met on retreat several years ago who has walked a unique path in her dating relationships – going through two relationships that did not show her an accurate picture of her lovability and finally coming into a relationship with God that grounded her in how loved she was whether or not another human came into her life to demonstrate that.   This problem is widespread. Whether it’s parents, siblings, friends, significant others, or work colleagues, so many of us end up being involved in relationships that don’t give us an accurate picture of the way that God loves us and we can use those as evidence for how lovable or not lovable we think we are.   And at the end of the day, as long as we are chasing a human iteration of our loveability that gives us “hard evidence“ of our worth, we will be disappointed.   No matter how good the friendship, marriage, or family is, it will always fall short in someway in demonstrating the true extent of the love of God.   In today’s episode Maria and I both repeat a phrase that I would love for you to reflect on: let God love you.   Verse of the Month: Romans 5:8 - But God commends his own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.   Get our guide to walking in God's love for you right here: https://joy.pinksaltriot.com/iamloved   Shop our brand new "I Am Loved" collection here: https://pinksaltriot.com/collections/i-am-loved
