Series: Rediscovering God – Unlearning Old Beliefs

Thank you for joining me on this journey of Rediscovering God: Unlearning Old Beliefs. In the next four posts, I’ll be exploring the process of releasing old ideas about a distant, demanding God and embracing a deeper, more authentic connection with Love—unconditional, ever-present, and true. Each post in this series will dive into a different layer of this unlearning and rediscovery, inviting you to pause, reflect, and perhaps even find a bit of your own story within these words. I hope these reflections offer insight, comfort, and encouragement for anyone who may be rethinking their beliefs or seeking more deeply.

In this post, I share how letting go of strict religious routines allowed me to discover a more genuine, heart-centered relationship with Love.

A look into the fears I faced in my journey, and how releasing those fears led me to embrace Truth and find Peace.

Reflecting on the shift from judgment to compassion, and how understanding Love has deepened my connection with others.

A new understanding of purpose—not as a single calling, but as an everyday expression of who I am.

Let Love In

Love whispers to my heart, “You are worthy of love. You are worth loving.”

As I place my heart in Love’s hand, I begin this journey. This is just the beginning of allowing Love to truly love me. Love awakened me with the sound of a gentle voice, saying, “You are worthy of love. You are worth loving.” These words penetrated the depths of my heart, melting away the lies of fear and shame.

For years, the cry of my heart has been, “God, I love you!” Then one day, Love gently whispered to me: Allow Me to love you. I had never thought about allowing Love to love me. I assumed, as long as I loved God, that was enough, that’s what He wanted.

In that moment, I saw how I hadn’t opened my heart to receive Love fully. Why? I didn’t feel worthy of such love. I didn’t believe I deserved Love’s care, but Love let me know, I do.

The beauty of these words has awakened my heart. Each time Love speaks of deep affection for me, I am completely overwhelmed and undone by how I could be loved so beautifully—so completely.

Reflection

As I sit back and reflect on the day Love spoke these words to my heart, I can see now why it was so transformative. My upbringing taught me to see God as a distant, fearsome figure in the sky, always watching and ready to condemn. Love wasn’t part of that picture. But over the past nine years, I’ve seen how Love has been gently drawing me back to the truth of who He is—and who He created me to be before time began. Little by little, I am awakening to the beauty of my true identity.

It is my prayer that if you, too, were raised with a view of God as harsh and condemning, that Love will gently whisper truth to your heart. May you find yourself open to letting Love in.
