This is a tremendously powerful message about the love of God and the love that is worthy to cultivate in our lives. This is why it is safe to trust God and His love: because it is pure and has only our best in mind (in His hidden motive). Why have we been hurt by love? Because it was stained with self-interest. Love that has a self interest as a hidden motive is hurtful. God’s love is the safest place for our souls. May you receive God’s love in fullness and may it bring healing to you.
