Better: Not Perfect Soul Care Workbook

Chapter #5 Finding Love: Flawed, Imperfect but still Deserving

Lessons From My Heart To Yours

Learn

For real love to exist, there must be authentic communication that respects boundaries and no-go zones, but still speaks truth in love, holds our tongue when angry, and always, always stays loyal and puts the relationship and family conversation first then makes a real decision to ride out the rough times to a better day. Authentic conversations come when you learn who you are, what you like, and what you don’t want.

 

Love

God isn’t waiting for you to be perfect, worthy, or deserving to bring love your way. Love will come in if you are open and if it’s part of the creator’s plan for your life. All you need to do is to be as ready as you can be, Better. Not Perfect. Learning to love oneself is part of the preparation that needs to take place for the openness to happen.

 

Be
