Letting Yourself Be Loved

Welcome to another enriching episode of *Free for the Fruit*, your go-to podcast for spiritual growth and unlocking the fruits of the Holy Spirit. In our latest episode titled "Letting Yourself Be Loved," host Jill Simons dives into a life-changing concept that has the potential to transform your spiritual journey—receiving God’s love in its fullness.

Jill begins by addressing a common struggle among Christians: the feeling that others exhibit more of the Holy Spirit's fruits despite one's own faithful walk with Christ. If you've ever felt stuck or spiritually dry, this episode is tailor-made for you. Jill explains that God's love is not conditional or based on your ability to "get better" or "be better." God loves you *now*, wholly and completely.

Throughout the episode, Jill provides practical tips to help you cultivate a heart that's open and receptive to this divine love. She encourages listeners to practice receiving compliments as a way to become more adept at accepting good things, including God’s love. Transforming our natural tendency to deflect into a humble "thank you" can significantly shift our mental posture.

Another powerful takeaway is the idea of adopting a "posture of praise." Jill highlights the importance of gratitude, not just as a fleeting emotion but as a continuous practice. By acknowledging God's presence in every blessing and trial, we align ourselves more closely with His love and purposes for us.

In an intimate, anecdotal moment, Jill shares her personal practice of closing prayers with "I love you too," recognizing God’s ongoing declaration of love. This small but profound act can change your prayer life, making it a two-way conversation filled with love and intimacy.
