Episode notes
Have you ever felt alone? The kind of alone where no one around you knows you or what it’s like to be in your shoes? It can feel suffocating – like you’re trapped in your own invisible box.
This kind of loneliness can be so crushing that it leaves us with little space or energy to think about anyone else.
But what if we told you that one way God helps us out of our pain is by guiding us to help someone else out of theirs?
No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.
1 John 4:12 NIV
1 John 4 tells us that when we love each other, God’s love is made complete in us. So if we want to fully feel and experience God’s love in our lives, we need to extend that love to others.
This was what happened to a woman in the Bible named Ruth. Ruth may not have known much about God, but he became real to her as she continuously planted seeds of love.
