A Message of Inspiration From the Author of Living Loved, January 25, 2026
Hey friends!! It’s been a journey for me lately for real. A journey of learning to live in the fullness of His love in this season I am in. And I’m reminded that living loved does not mean the journey is always easy, but it does mean we are never walking it alone. It does mean that Gods love accompanies us in the hard, in the difficult, in the overwhelming.
In Hebrews we read, “Do not throw away this confident trust in the Lord.”And friends listen, that confidence isn’t arrogance, it’s resting in the assurance we have in His promise. It’s the settled knowing that you are deeply loved by God and that His promises are worth holding onto friends; yes even when the waiting feels long. Even when the waiting feels useless. Because friends, living loved means refusing to let trials steal your trust, because you know the heart and character of the One we trust.
Friends, I know there are seasons when things are hard and patient endurance is required. Listen friends, it’s not because God has forgotten you. It’s not because He’s not good. It’s not because the trial has a stronger hold on you than the Father. It’s because sometimes friends, sometimes He is forming something eternal within you. And friends when you keep doing God’s will, when you keep trusting Him, when you keep showing up in faith, obedience, and love, friends you will be standing in the very place where His promises are fulfilled.
Friends, living loved means trusting that what God promised is still on its way. It’s trusting that all His promises are yes and amen!
Hebrews 10:38 says, “My righteous ones will live by faith.” You see friends, Faith is the language of those who know they are loved. And you ARE LOVED!! Friends it is saying, “Even if I can’t see it yet, I believe God is faithful.” Friends, living loved is CHOOSING faith over fear, hope over despair, and trust over retreat.
Friends, listen here’s the encouragement we need to hear today, me included: we are not those who turn back. We are not the ones who shrink away when things get hard. We are His faithful ones—those who remain, those who believe, those who live loved even in the waiting. Our souls are being saved, strengthened, and secured in Him.
So hold on sweet friends!! Don’t throw away your confidence. Keep walking by faith and remember, you are so loved, live loved. Trust me friends, the reward is coming—and so is the One who promised it and we can trust that because He is faithful and His love is unfailing! You are so loved friends, live LOVED!!
