Every year when the holidays come around, something happens inside of us. The lights get brighter, the music gets softer, families start gathering, and everywhere you look people seem to be holding hands, smiling, or talking about love. And for many of us, that’s when the longing hits the hardest. We want love. We want connection. We want someone to hold us, appreciate us, and choose us.But on her “Bedtime Talk” podcast, Ya Girl Renae shared a truth that hit deep:
Before you ever receive love from another person, you have to know and trust that you are loved by God first.This message is powerful. And for some people, it’s exactly what their heart has been needing to hear.The holiday season has a way of magnifying everything—your joy, your memories, and yes, even your loneliness. You start reflecting on who’s missing, who you lost, who walked away, or who never showed up. Social media makes it even harder because you see couples posting pictures, families laughing together, and people opening gifts with big smiles.But God wants you to understand something important:Your value is not measured by who chooses you.
Your worth is not decided by who stays or who leaves.
You are already loved. You were loved first by God.Why We Search So Hard for Love During the Holidays
