The longer I am on this spinning earth the more I know this to be true: Love is hard and beautiful and doesn’t come naturally to any of us. We all need the God who is love because we are all so clumsy with human hearts–our own and each others’.
We crave love, we are created for it and yet we get all mixed up about it. I personally struggle with believing that I have to earn the right to be loved. I need to be perfect, to give and give, to keep it all together. I’m still coming to understand that love is always and only a gift to be received.
If you need a reminder about what it really means to love and be loved too, then join Suzie Eller, Jennifer Watson and I for the video conversation below. (We also ended up talking about Spanx, streaking and laughing so hard you have to run to the bathroom–you can consider that bonus material.)
Let’s rest in this today: We are already loved. Truly. Deeply. Always.
XOXO,
Holley Gerth
