Discover how to live loved by God every day. Learn to embrace His unconditional love, overcome barriers, and experience true peace.
Are you in need of some self love? In a world where we are constantly told self love is the key, it can be hard when our love is less than perfect. In fact, love in general often seems conditional and fleeting. However, understanding and embracing God’s unwavering love can transform your life because His love is perfect. But how do you learn to live in the power of God’s love? It takes making His presence a daily habit and Liz Wright’s book, LOVED, offers to help us do just that. It will ground you and saturate you in His love with profound insights into experiencing this divine affection daily. Drawing from her teachings, let’s explore how to truly live loved by God.
Understanding God’s Unconditional Love
Many of us have been conditioned to believe that love must be earned. However, God’s love is neither based on our performance nor diminished by our shortcomings. As Liz Wright emphasises in LOVED, God’s love is a constant, unwavering force that seeks to embrace us as we are. This perspective aligns with biblical teachings that describe God’s love as steadfast and enduring.
“God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.” –1 John 4:16
Overcoming Barriers to Receiving
If living loved was as easy as simply believing it, everyone would be doing it and we would have a very secure society. However, past hurts, feelings of unworthiness, and misconceptions about God’s nature can hinder us from fully accepting His love. When you confront these barriers, you are more able to accept God’s love as a gift instead of a reward for good behaviour. To truly live loved, you must address these internal obstacles and this opens you to a deeper relationship with your Creator.
The Loved Life Is Transformational
Living in the awareness of God’s love brings profound peace and confidence. Really knowing that the God of the universe deeply loves and cares for you can change your life. It transforms your self-perception, relationships, and overall outlook on life. When you accept that you are deeply loved by the Creator, you begin to see yourself and others through His compassionate eyes. This means you can walk in the confidence that He is really working everything for your good. Living loved means setting healthy boundaries for yourself because you know you are a valued and precious. You begin to notice the ways in which God shows His love in the small ways. Understanding God’s love in your very being can reset your entire nervous system if you let Him.
Practical Steps to Live Loved
