It really is true. You have friends and you might notice after a while, wait a second, I'm doing everything in this relationship.

Nobody's stepping in here and pitching. There's no reciprocation. It's not a two-way street.

I'm the one who always texts. I'm the one who always calls. I'm the one who's always inviting over.

I've had that. Yeah. And after a while, you're like, well, wait a second. I'm done with this, then.

That's just the way we humans are. How amazing is it? And this is probably why it's so hard for us to relate to God's love for us and to even believe it, that he would still love me, even after what I've done over the course

of my life and continue to do, he still loves me. His love isn't dependent on me, it's dependent on him.

That's really hard to just take in. Like, he doesn't work like us. He gave everything. This is amazing

to me, because I know how messed up I am. He gave everything for me

before I did any of that stuff. I mean, I can't do anything for him that he needs. Like,

he's desperately needy and he's waiting on me to do something. He needs it. He doesn't need

anything from me. He loves me anyway. Tricia listens to the show. She made a great point on my Facebook page. She said,

you know, I've noticed the people who are the most judgmental or self-righteous seeming.

You find out later on that they're the ones that have something going on that was really, like, bad.

And that's true. That's been my experience, too.

Yes, in my own life.

I mean, younger, weren't you just?

Totally.

Oh, yeah.

You shouldn't, you shouldn't, you shouldn't until you're faced with your own.

With yourself.

Yeah.
