A lot of the problems we get into in life come because we are searching for love—often in all the wrong places.
Though Zacchaeus came with baggage, Jesus’ decision to love anyway completely changed Zacchaeus’ life for the better.
Even when we make mistakes and hurt God, he still sticks with us because he loves us. Nothing we do can drive him away.
Being vulnerable with God means being comfortable with our weaknesses because we know God’s power is greater than any of our weaknesses or flaws and that all our strength and courage comes from God. There’s freedom knowing that God loves us no matter what and can make us strong despite our weaknesses or insecurities.
Once our faith in God is strong, it becomes easy to overcome the temptation to be cynical in human relationships.
