Hindrances - Habits of the Heart

Hindrances

Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death? . . . No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us.

Romans 8:35-37

Sometimes it is hard to accept another person’s love. There are all kinds of reasons for this.

Perhaps you have been hurt and fear another rejection.

Or maybe it is difficult for you to believe that someone could actually love the real you. Sometimes it is even more difficult to accept God’s love.

What hinders you from receiving his love?

Tragedy? Shame? Doubt? Busyness? Indifference?

Think about these hindrances and talk to God about each one.
