Had guests on my podcast who spent 25 years as counselors. I asked them why so many people struggle to feel loved, even by God. They said it usually traces back to a conclusion reached between the ages of two and four: “I’m me and I’m not OK.” Most of us have never revisited that verdict. But God has. “See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God” (1 John 3:1).
