Finding Strength in God's Love: A Path to Recovery
If we don't understand what love actually is and if our understanding of love doesn't have some depth and some root and an anchor to it, when we begin to talk about God's love for us, we can't frame it up like. It won't feel as spectacular as it is, because we'll feel like we've got to measure up and we feel like we've got to do everything right in order for god to love us, that we are loved as long as we can perform accordingly. But that's not love, as the bible teaches it.
