"I love the writing of Canadian farmer's wife Ann Voskamp. One night, while her husband unexpectedly massaged her feet, she wondered, 'Why is it easier to pour out than to let yourself be loved?...Letting yourself receive love means trusting you will be loved in your vulnerable need; it means believing you are worthy of being loved. Why can that be so heartbreakingly hard?'
I know why: because I know what's inside me. The pride. The selfishness. What I did yesterday. The things I thought - just an hour ago.
Stop it now. God is love. And our vulnerable God opens himself to cover my love-fears with himself. Love is not about my worthiness, my enough-ness. It's about God's unendingness."
