Encouragement
To be loved and accepted as you are and not judged is the kind
of love we all look for and want—the healing kind of love that
doesn’t hurt and is constant and unconditional—not earned but
given freely—seeing the need in us, not our faults—the love
that covers us and doesn’t uncover.
In this world a lot of us have been deeply hurt by love, but
there is a love that truly heals and that is God’s love.
Sometimes we’ve been hurt so many times that we’re afraid of
love because we don’t want to be hurt anymore, so we build up
walls around us and close ourselves up to love. We think by
doing this we are protecting ourselves and it's ok. But,
eventually, the walls become a trap and hurtful to us, keeping
us stagnant and eventually hurting us emotionally and
spiritually and, in may cases, physically also.
There is a healing kind of love that melts down the walls,
soothes the wounds of a broken heart and can put back the
pieces of a life that has been broken --a love we’ve never
known before—Someone who sees and feels the pain in our life
and who was with us through it all, even though we may not have
known it; that Someone is God, who gave us life and loves us
unconditionally. He is a constant kind of love we can trust in.
His love is not dependent on what we do or don’t do. His love
just is, because we are.
This love soothed the wounds of my broken heart and life and
healed my pain, giving me hope and my life meaning. He took
away my guilt and shame by touching this broken life and
putting it back together again, only better than it was before.
Loving me and accepting me as I am, He’s given me a reason to
live and love again. His healing kind of love set me free, and
He wants to do the same for each one of us..
