Thank you so much for your kind words and thoughtful question! Loving like Jesus is indeed a high standard, and you’re right—it can feel overwhelming at times. The key is realizing that while we’re called to love selflessly, we’re also human, and God understands our limitations. I believe balance is essential. Jesus Himself took time to rest and pray, showing us that self-care is part of living a healthy, loving life (Mark 6:31).

As for knowing if we’re doing it right, it’s more about the heart behind our actions than perfection. When we love with sincerity, relying on God’s strength rather than our own, we can trust that we’re reflecting Christ’s love. Remember, we don’t have to do it all alone—God is always there to guide and sustain us.

It’s a journey, for sure. Maybe it’s also about finding strength and renewal through prayer and community. That way, love becomes sustainable.

Emily, that’s a solid point. I’ve tried to be more giving but end up feeling worn out. Wonder if there’s like a limit to this kind of love?
