If we experience it, what happens just gratitude and joy wells up, because there's nothing that feels better than being loved and receiving the love from another. That is what we want. That is what we need.
Imagine finding solace in the messiness of life through an unwavering love. In this episode of 'Healing Connections', hosts Wes Thompson and Austin Hill dive into the profound yet messy love of God and its pivotal role in recovery. They kick off by acknowledging the imperfections within the church and its community, emphasizing that our choices often lead to relational pain and brokenness. But there's hope. Through God's love, we can begin to heal and rebuild those fractured relationships.
A key takeaway from this episode is the importance of not just knowing about God's love, but truly experiencing it. As Austin Hill puts it, 'If we experience it, what happens is gratitude and joy wells up, because there's nothing that feels better than being loved and receiving the love from another'. This isn't just about intellectual understanding; it's about letting that love permeate your life. The hosts also explore the role of empathy in grasping God's love.
Jesus' ability to relate to our emotions and experiences makes Him a relatable and empathetic figure. They touch on how fear, shame, and guilt can hinder our ability to receive love, distancing us from others and from God. Ultimately, this episode serves as a heartfelt reminder that while God's love can be messy, it is also incredibly beautiful and transformative. By embracing this love, we can find the healing we need to mend broken relationships and lead more fulfilling lives.
Tune in to hear more about how this messy love can guide you on your path to recovery.
