223. Love is Worth the Risk
Manage episode 374321920 series 2436042
In this episode of The Crystal Paine Show, Jesse and I dive deep into the topic of how love is worth the risk. We share how recent experiences have challenged us to embrace the vulnerability of loving wholeheartedly. Whether it's fostering a child and facing the heart-wrenching goodbyes, navigating friendships with the potential for hurt, or parenting in a way that opens our hearts to the unknowns of the future, we've discovered that to truly love is to take a risk... but it is worth the risk.
We also discuss the importance of living in the moment, savoring each day, and recognizing that the uncertainties of tomorrow shouldn't deter us from loving fully today. Join us as we explore the significance of opening our hearts, being vulnerable, and choosing to love in a way that echoes the unconditional love we receive from God. It's a reminder that even though love comes with its challenges, it's a risk that is absolutely always worth taking!
