God's Love Keeps No Record of Wrongs

We wrestle with what God’s love looks like when we lose control and hurt someone we care about. We connect fasting, failure, and Good Friday grace to the truth that God meets us with patience, kindness, and forgiveness even when we fall short.  • anxiety and perfectionism around showing up faithfully  • a three-day fast from food and electronics as a holy appointment with God  • two promises that sustain us through hard transitions  • the tension of a fast that feels unsettled and exposes what we still hold tightly  • 1 Corinthians 13 as a mirror for how we love others and ourselves  • why we struggle to extend grace to others when we cannot accept ourselves  • the discipline of submission as valuing others without demanding love back  • “It is finished” as the foundation for forgiveness and healing after failure  Join me each week as we do just that together.Some days the most spiritual thing you can say is: I blew it. I wanted to be patient and kind, and instead I lost control and watched my words land like damage. That moment sent me back through everything I’ve been practicing, from fasting and solitude to prayer and Scripture, and it brought me face to face with a question that feels painfully personal: what does God’s love look like after I fail and keep failing?I share the story of a three-day fast that felt like a holy appointment with God, along with two promises that have carried me through a hard season of transition. We lean into 1 Corinthians 13 not as a wedding reading, but as a lived standard that exposes the “tally” we keep, not only of other people’s wrongs but of our own shortcomings. If you’ve ever struggled with self-acceptance, overthinking, or the pressure to be better, you’ll recognize the tension.Good Friday turns the whole conversation toward grace. Drawing from Celebration of Discipline by Richard J. Foster, we explore submission as a way of valuing others and releasing the demand to be loved back. And we land on the words that change everything for Christians who feel disqualified: it is finished. If you need encouragement, a reminder of God’s mercy, and a practical path back to love, press play, subscribe, share this with a friend who needs grace, and leave a review so more people can find us.Text Kathy
