Living Loved
TerKeurst introduces the concept of 'living loved,' which means internalizing God's unconditional love as the foundation of one's self-worth. She points out that many people, in their quest for validation, forget that 'God’s love isn’t based on me. It’s simply placed on me.' This idea posits that recognizing and accepting God's love can shield you from the superficial validation you seek from society. Consequently, instead of experiencing constant rejection or emptiness, your actions and interactions will be grounded in the assurance of being loved by God.
