Jesus gives us the ultimate example of how to love, connect, and have deep relationships.
Negative thoughts about ourselves can be debilitating and discouraging
God's thoughts are higher than and completely different from ours
God will give us a new heart, a new way of thinking, and new strength to move forward
God is relational; he wants a friendship with us, not a religious performance.
A lot of the problems we get into in life come because we are searching for love—often in all the wrong places.
