God's love is greater than you can imagine

1 John 3:18-20 MSG
My dear children, let’s not just talk about love; let’s practice real love. This is the only way we’ll know we’re living truly, living in God’s reality. It’s also the way to shut down debilitating self-criticism, even when there is something to it. For God is greater than our worried hearts and knows more about us than we do ourselves.

I need to remember what true love looks like. When I often don't feel loved or willing to love myself enough to forgive myself for past mistakes, then God's true love is not shown through me. When I practice his ways to love, then any self doubt is forgotten because God is always willing to love me
