How are you doing, Friend?
Love is a two-way street. Both the person offering love and the person receiving love must be willing participants.
What happens if you pour water into a cup with holes and take a
drink? You’ll probably end up with more water on the outside of your
body than on the inside. If your goal is to cool off, a cup with holes
is okay. But if you’re thirsty, such a cup doesn’t work well.
Having a negative self-worth is like having holes in your cup. God
can pour all of His love into you, but if you ignore, reject, or lack
the ability to hold onto it, you won’t feel love for very long.
Everybody has holes in their cup. That’s a consequence of living in a fallen world. Even with the holes, there is hope.
