Love/HateSample

When you were really young, you probably didn’t swim in the deep end of the pool on your own. Why? Because it was scary. You couldn’t touch the bottom, and if you didn’t know how to swim well enough to stay afloat on your own, that made the deep end terrifying. Love can be a lot like that. 

One of Jesus’ followers, Peter, said in a letter to the early Church that love needs to be sincere, deep, and from the heart. Which is exactly what God’s love is like. But, trusting it can kind of like jumping in the deep end of the pool. You can’t touch the bottom of it. You might even be scared to fully jump into it. But when you do, you’ll find what you need to stay afloat. Pray and ask God to help you see the places where trusting in His love is hard to do. Ask Him to show you where He wants you to lean deeper into His love. Pray that He would help you trust Him to jump in fully with Him.
