Imagine, if you will, and it’s not a pleasant image necessarily, but let’s say you’re in a parking lot at a store and then you see just outside, there’s like a 40-year-old woman who is just screaming and berating a five-year-old girl, just telling her she’s awful. She’s horrible. As an adult, you see that. You don’t think that girl is horrible, right? But the girl, she doesn’t know better. So, she absorbs this. She doesn’t have the faculties to process it like we do as adults. And I think that’s really important because a lot of us, we’re like that girl when it comes to how we think about God. And we have some wrong ideas about ourselves, like that we’re awful and we’re no good. God wants to punish us. You may have heard that, but it’s not true. We can believe lies about ourselves until we understand the truth.

Every song, everything we’re talking about on this show is trying to point you towards the real truth about how loved you are by God. How loved he wants to be with you, partner with you in life. He treasures you so you can turn toward him. Not away. It’s just that sometimes we believe the wrong things.
