So many of us believe God loves us—but quietly wonder if He actually likes us. This post explores the lie that we have to earn God’s affection and the truth that He not only delights in us, but desires every part of our lives. Through honest reflection and scripture, readers are invited to lay down performance, step out of shame, and walk in the nearness of a God who wants them—just as they are. This is one of the many healing truths from our upcoming book, written to help you break free from the lies that keep you from fully trusting His love.
