Remember who loves you, regardless of how people treat you.

Is there a hidden part of your life that no one — not even your best friend or trusted family member — knows about? Do you say, “I’m fine,” but you’re not?

Yes, rejection often hurts and sometimes it can feel like you are unloveable. However, there is good news: you are loved.

Some important events that happened in my life this year helped me realize these four lessons about maintaining relationships.

Admit it, you’ve wished real life were more like a romantic comedy.

For whatever reason I don’t want to tell somebody, “Hey, you hurt my feelings.” And I don’t think I’m the only one who has a hard time with that.

Perhaps you or someone you know is looking for the perfect match before pursuing a relationship. This is what I call the Goldilocks syndrome.

Christianity has little to do with good people doing good things and everything to do with broken people relying completely on God.
