When Loving People Makes Others Question Your Faith
The Messy Middle of faith, love, and being misunderstood.
Hey you, it's me. Good morning ☀️
Happy Monday, sweet friend.
The new episode with Jerod dropped this morning, and I have received so many letters of love. Truly, I was not expecting the response.
But I was also surprised by a few messages questioning my relationship with Jesus.
And honestly, after the morning I have had with God, my tea, and my own fears about whether I am walking the path He has for me, it hit tender.
Because here is what I keep coming back to:
Loving people deeply does not mean I have walked away from Jesus. It may actually mean I am trying to walk closer to Him.
Today's verse was 1 Peter 4:8:
"Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins."
Above all.
Not above all, explain yourself.
Not above all, prove your faith.
Not above all, make everyone comfortable.
Not above all, protect your reputation.
Above all, love.
This morning I found myself praying about purpose, fear, and whether I am truly on God's path. I realized some of my fear is not about God at all. It is about people.
People who walked away.
People who questioned me.
People who made me feel like I was never enough.
People who are still watching from a distance.
For a moment, I caught myself wondering if the success of a book, a podcast, or a platform could somehow prove my worth.
It can't.
My worth was settled long before any book was published.
Maybe faith is trusting God enough to love people well, even when they misunderstand you.
Maybe faith is being willing to tell the truth, even when it costs you approval.
Maybe faith is believing that obedience matters more than outcomes.
I'm waiting on your note~
If you are carrying the weight of being misunderstood, write me. Love anyway. Trust anyway. Keep showing up anyway. The people watching can watch — God sees your heart.
