How much of God’s love do you want?
How much of God’s love are you willing to receive? Uhhh. Is this a trick question? Some? Enough? All? We humans play lots of mental games with God’s love. It often circles around our sense of worth or lack thereof. Perhaps it’s an unspoken belief that He likes other kids more than us, so we […]
