Our self-love is finite, mixed, and incomplete. God’s love is pure, electing, saving, and infinite. He does not merely tolerate us—He rejoices over us, rests in His love toward us, and sings.</p><p>This episode is a gentle but firm call to wise up. True wholeness is not found by trying harder to love ourselves enough. It is found by resting in the greater love of the Father who already loves us more completely than we ever could.</p><p>🕊️ Let His love quiet the striving.</p><p>❤️ Receive the love that outruns your own.</p><p>🙏 Walk free.</p><p>Jesus Company | One life at a time.
