Tending Your Soul

Advent for the Overwhelmed: Love That Fills You First


Listen Later

You can't pour from an empty cup. We're so good at loving others, but not so good at receiving love ourselves. Today we're learning that sustainable love comes from being filled by God's love first—before we pour out to everyone else.

This Week's Practice: Five Minutes to Receive Love Choose one verse about God's love for you. Read it slowly. Sit with it. Let it sink in. Practice receiving His love before you give to everyone else.

Start 2025 With Your Cup Full Four weeks of soul-tending practices have shown you there's a better way to live. Don't go back to depletion in the new year. Join the free TEND Bible Study Workshop on January 5th and learn a sustainable method with a community to support you. What would change if you knew how to receive from God before giving to everyone else? Register HERE.
