1 John 3:19-24
English Standard Version (ESV)
Our hearts aren't always the most reliable sources of information. They can lead us astray -- we can drift from appetite to appetite, thinking we know just what we want but finding that nothing satisfies the deepest desires of our hearts. Our hearts can also feed us false information about ourselves -- they tell us lies and we start to believe that we aren't good enough or that no one could love us.
God whispers to us, inviting us into a deeper Truth, where we are beloved and treasured and redeemed because God loves us. God is greater than our heart, and sends the Spirit to teach us how to abide in God. The Spirit calls us into deep communion with God, reminding us that we are enough because God is enough. You are beloved, you are treasured, and you are redeemed through the love of Christ.
