What is love? Love is healthy.
The world unhealthily keeps telling us “Do what makes you happy,” “How can this friend benefit me,”
“No more spark,” “Try it before you buy it,” “Out with the old and in with the new,” “We fell out of love,” & the list goes on.Healthy love is staying in the slow seasons and the fast ones & picking up slack when the other falls.
It is encouraging the other to be their best, learning always, & giving MORE than you take.

Here’s an unhealthy love check-list:
▪️overanalyzing texts/communication
▪️being incredibly picky about the other person
▪️feeding anxiety by wondering if you are ____ enough
▪️only having huge highs/lows
▪️assuming the worst
▪️making up for pain with grand gestures
▪️cheating

There is much JOY that comes from a healthy relationship.
Why miss out on that because you’re focused on a party of one instead of being one?
How can you love the ones near you today?

Hey — I wrote a book about all of this.
Living Open-Handed is the devotional I wrote during a season when I really needed to hear these words myself. If you're in a place where you need to be encouraged by scripture and softened by grace, it might be for you too.
