THE TENDER PART
Every one of us—raised in homes that some would call “bad” and in homes that many would call “good”—had needs that weren’t met. Maybe a parent forgot to pick us up at soccer practice. Or maybe we endured harm, for years, at home.
Based on our experience, we jumped to the wrong conclusions, believing we weren't worthy of what we needed and deserved: nurture and protection. And today, the tender parts that were born inside us—when our needs weren’t met—continue to carry faulty beliefs, impacting our relationships today.
But when these parts receive the care they need, when we replace the lies we believed with what is more true, we can be set free.
We can live from the place that is solid.
BE LOVE
Share God's transforming
love right where you are
SMALL THINGS WITH GREAT LOVE
When you respond to Jesus’ call to love your neighbor, by authentically loving those around you, you’re being invited into life that really is life. (And you don't have to add lots more overwhelming activity to what we've already got going!)
The regular stuff of our lives—the bus commute to work, the grocery store, and the soccer games—are where we express and experience God's love for a world in need
Margot will open your eyes to the people around you and the huge impact you can have on them through small acts of love.
Discover how powerfully God can use you, right in the midst of your walking-the-dog, paying-the-bills, doing-laundry life, when you're living out his love.
We can love, like Jesus, right where we are.
