Would I just let myself bathe in that and believe that if I fail today, if I relapse today, that doesn't knock down the intensity of God's love notches and I'll lose more hair today because I failed, but instead no same constant love, same father who wants to say: come over here, come over here, I want to hug you, I want to love you.
Ever wondered if God still loves you when you feel like you're at your worst? In this heartfelt episode of 'Hope in Recovery', hosts Rodney Holmstrom, David Attebery, and Michael Summers dive deep into this very question. They tackle the often overwhelming feeling of not being 'good enough' in God's eyes, especially when grappling with addiction, depression, or other personal struggles.
Rodney bravely shares his own journey through sexual addiction, codependency, and depression, revealing how he once viewed himself solely through the lens of his failures. Through Celebrate Recovery, he learned to see himself in a new light, understanding the reasons behind his beliefs and finding hope in God's unwavering love. David and Michael also open up about their experiences, highlighting the crucial role of community and the power of reprogramming negative thoughts with the truth of divine mercy.
Michael's story about how reading a book on Christ's mercy helped him find peace in his deepest shame is particularly moving. The episode emphasizes the importance of honesty in recovery and surrounding yourself with supportive people who uplift rather than judge. The hosts encourage listeners to use the Psalms as a tool to combat old thinking patterns and remind us that God's love is constant, even in our failures.
Rodney's powerful statement, 'if I fail today, if I relapse today, that doesn't knock down the intensity of God's love notches', serves as a comforting reminder of the hope and healing available through faith. Tune in to this episode for a dose of encouragement and a reminder that you're never alone on your recovery journey.
