This is a Heart2Heart story… a gentle picture of what Love Himself is like, drawn from the truths of Scripture, so your heart can rest in His love as you listen. These Love Lessons are told in story form… not new words from Jesus, but a tender reflection of the way Scripture shows Love Himself caring for His children. This story is simply meant to help your heart feel the way His love feels… soft, safe, healing, and true. Hear Him with me as I hear Love Himself whispering to our hearts…
My Child of Love… come sit with Me… right here where your heart can hear Mine. I want to show you something… something gentle… something true. I want you to watch how I love others… how I speak to them… how I hold their hearts… because as you listen, your own heart is learning. These are your Love Notes… written quietly inside you as I speak.
When I speak to someone… I speak kindly. I speak gently. I speak in ways that help their heart feel safe. I never use mean or hurtful words. I never make someone feel small. I never remind them of the things they wish they could forget. I never use their struggles against them. I never tease them or embarrass them or make them feel ashamed. I speak in ways that help them feel lighter… calmer… braver… and more loved. This is how I love… and as you listen, your heart is learning to love this way too. In My House… Love is spoken here.
When someone is hurting… I am soft with them. When someone is scared… I speak peace to them. When someone feels ashamed… I cover them with kindness. When someone is trying to heal… I protect the tender places. I do not poke at their wounds. I do not bring up what hurts them. I do not make them relive what broke them. I hold their heart gently… the way you would hold something precious that could easily be hurt. This is how I love… and as you listen, your heart is learning to love this way too. In My House… Love is spoken here.
When someone tells Me their secrets… I keep them safe. I never tell their private stories to others. I never use what they trusted Me with to hurt them. I never add more pain to the pain they already carry. I never drag them back through the things they survived. I never make them feel the hurt all over again. I protect their heart… because their heart matters to Me. This is how I love… and as you listen, your heart is learning to love this way too. In My House… Love is spoken here.
And My child… I know you have been hurt by people you trusted… people who should have loved you well… people who should have spoken to you with kindness… people who should have protected your heart instead of wounding it. I want you to hear Me… I never agreed with the way they treated you. I never blessed their behavior. I never told them to speak to you that way. I never told them to handle your heart with anything less than love. What they did was not love… and it was not Me.
But even after all of that… your heart still wants to love like I love. You still want to be My Love to others. You still pray for the ones who hurt you. You still hope for their healing. And that tenderness in you… that compassion… that desire to love even when you have been wounded… that is My Love alive inside you. That is My heart beating in yours.
You do not have to trust those who hurt you. You do not have to stay close to those who wounded your heart. Safe distance is not unloving… it is wisdom. You can pray for them from afar. You can bless them without giving them access to your heart. You can love them without letting them hurt you again. This is love too… the kind of love that protects your heart while still hoping for theirs.
So as you take these Love Notes into your heart… remember this… you are learning from Me. You are learning how to speak… how to care… how to protect… how to love with a heart that heals, not a heart that harms. You are learning to be a Heart2Heart friend because you are learning from Love Himself. And every time you choose kindness… every time you choose gentleness… every time you choose compassion… you are choosing to love the way I love. In My House… Love is spoken here.
“And never let ugly or hateful words come from your mouth, but instead let your words become beautiful gifts that encourage others…” My child… this is how I speak to you… and as you listen, your heart is learning to speak with beauty and kindness too.
“Kind words are like honey… sweet to the soul and healing to the body.” Let your heart feel this… My words to you are always sweet… always gentle… always healing… and your heart is learning sweetness from Mine.
“A gentle answer turns away anger, but harsh words stir up hurt.” Feel My gentleness… this is how I protect your heart… and as you listen, your heart is learning gentleness from Me.
“Let your words always be full of grace…” Breathe in My grace… let it fill you… let it shape the way you speak… the way you love… the way you respond… your heart is learning grace from Mine.
“Above all, love each other deeply, for love covers a multitude of wrongs.” Rest in this… My Love covers you… shields you… protects you… and as you listen, your heart is learning to cover others with the same tenderness.
My Child of Love… come here… let Me hold you for a moment. Let Me place My hands gently on each side of your face… the way I touch what is precious to Me. Look at Me… let your heart feel how deeply you belong to Love. You have listened so closely… you have let My words settle inside you… and I want you to feel this blessing not just in your mind, but in the softest places of your heart.
I bless your heart with peace… the kind that quiets the storms inside you. I bless your heart with rest… the kind that lets you breathe again. I bless your heart with truth… the kind that reminds you that you are safe in My Love.
And now, My child… I place My hand upon the top of your head… gently… tenderly… the way a loving Father blesses His beloved one. Feel My hand there… warm, steady, covering you with My presence. I speak healing into every place that has been hurt… every place that has been confused… every place that has been wounded by unkind words or unloving actions. Let My Love settle there… let it mend what was broken… let it soothe what was sore… let it bring peace where there was fear.
And hear this, little one… you are not only healed by My Love… you are carried by My Love… and now you are sent in My Love. You carry My gentleness. You carry My kindness. You carry My compassion. You carry My heart. You do not have to stay close to those who hurt you… but you can still pray for them… still hope for their healing… still shine My Love from a safe place.
You are My Child of Love… and I am sending you into the world with a heart that heals, not a heart that harms… a heart that speaks life, not pain… a heart that reflects Mine. Go in My Love… walk in My Love… speak in My Love… and remember always…
Your heart was made for Love… not judgment. Be kind to your heart and release people from your judgments… because judgment is a relationship killer. When you judge others, you don’t just hurt them… you hurt yourself. To the degree that you make someone else’s behavior about you in a negative way, to that same degree you bring pain and heartache into your own heart.
Judgment doesn’t just break relationships… it breaks hearts. It shuts doors. It closes rooms inside of you that were meant to stay open — rooms of trust, tenderness, and connection. But when someone you love starts hurting you with their own unhealed wounds, those rooms begin to close. And when that happens, it becomes so easy to slip into judgment… not realizing that judgment is only adding more pain to the pain you already feel.
Judgment feels like protection, but it’s actually a wall that keeps healing out. It’s a reaction to heartbreak, not a solution to it. And the more you judge, the more your own heart aches — because judgment doesn’t heal… it only hardens.
Judgment is the language of fear… and fear always divides. But Love… Love Himself… the Father of Love… the Heart Healer… speaks a different language… the language of Love. Love builds bridges where judgment builds walls. Love restores what judgment tears down. Love is the Heart Builder… the Heart Mender… the Heart Repairer. And when you begin to hear His Love language again, something inside you softens and helps you remember who you truly are.
This is why experiencing and healing with the Father’s Love from the inside out matters… and it counts a whole lot in relationship with yourself and others. When you choose His Love, you become a relationship builder… a heart builder. Standing up for your friends and defending them in their presence and in their absence is heart building. Speaking the better word to and about someone in their presence or absence is heart building. Looking for the gold in someone… especially when it would be easier to point out the dirt you see or know about them… is heart building. That’s what strengthens relationships… that’s what makes them come alive and stay alive. And the more you practice this, the more natural it becomes to live from Love instead of judgment.
As the Father of Love heals you from the inside out, something beautiful begins to happen. You learn to Love yourself and others with His Perfect Love and this sets you free. You learn to release people from all judgments, including yourself. You learn to be free from all judgments toward your own heart, and love others with the Father of Love’s heart. Your learn to see others … and yourself… through His eyes of Love. This is where healing begins to take root.
And here’s the truth in Love… when you truly stop judging yourself, you will stop judging others. When you see and think of yourself rightly… in agreement with the Father of Love’s view and opinion of you, which is your reality… you will begin to see and think about others rightly… the way Love Himself sees and thinks about you. When you love yourself with His Perfect Love, you will love others with His Perfect Love. Immediately fear will shrink… evaporate… evacuate… and poof… be gone. And with fear gone, Love has room to breathe again.
You cannot be free from judging others unless you are first free from judging yourself. So much self judgment… and judgment toward others… comes from not believing that you and others have been made in our Good, Good Father’s identity, worth, and value. You are able to love with Perfect Love because you were created in His Perfect Love. That’s who you are… perfectly loved by His Perfect Love. And when you remember this, judgment loses its grip on you.
And when this truth begins to settle in your heart, something shifts inside your heart. This is why judgment cannot stay where Love is healing. As the Heart Healer fills you, it becomes impossible to keep judging yourself… and impossible to keep judging others. His Love frees your heart to breathe again… to see clearly again… and to love without fear again. Healing always begins with seeing yourself through His eyes.
And here’s another layer of freedom… His Love also pulls the plug on your victim mentality. You begin to see others’ bad behavior choices as a reflection of their unhealed wounds. I learned during my healing journey this powerful truth. People do the things they do… or say… because of them… not you. Out of the abundance of their heart their mouth speaks… good or not so good. Out of the abundance of their unhealed heart they will act… think… speak… and behave. And when you understand this, you stop taking their behavior personally.
And when I ever speak of our Know Nots, I’m talking about something the Father of Love has shown me over and over again… some people truly do not know how their unloving behavior and words hurt others. They don’t know to the degree it hurts others. They are so wounded… so unhealed… so unaware… that they have no clue how their unloving words and actions damage hearts and relationships. They play the victim as if it’s everyone else… and they don’t see their part or own their part. They blame others while carrying a big ole log in their own eyes… and then accuse others for the specks they imagine caused their unloving reactions. And when you see this clearly, compassion rises up inside of you not wanting them to hurt inside but without excusing their hurtful behavior you or someone else you love has been hurt by.
Some Know Nots act as if they do not know but they know exactly what they’re doing and keep acting unloving anyway… which is still a sign they need deep healing. Some pretend they don’t know so they don’t have to take responsibility. And some truly have no clue how their dysfunctional… toxic… unloving behavior keeps killing their relationships and hurting even the very people they say they love. And this is why wisdom and boundaries matter so much.
Jesus forgave people of their Know Nots… therefore we are encouraged to forgive too. So forgive, yes. But forgiveness does not mean automatically giving them access to your heart to keep hurting you. The Father of Love is not asking you to let someone repeatedly wound you in the name of forgiveness. The most you can do is know your part… own your part… heal your part… and let them work out their healing vertically with the Father of Love. You cannot fix what only He can heal inside of them. And this truth should help to bring peace to your heart.
Before they can heal, they have to see their part… and then know how their unhealed wounds are causing destruction in their relationships. They need to know how to be loving… know how they shouldn’t be justifying their bad behavior or unkind words…know how to see others through His eyes of love… know how to speak and act with His Love. They cannot give to anyone else something they do not know… something they have never personally experienced in their own heart. And until they do, their bad behavior will continue to reflect their unhealed places. Meanwhile, you are still trying to heal your part with God. So, give each of your heart’s good healing time with the Father of Love first…that’s where you begin right now…
Their behavior will not change just because they say “I’m sorry.” I mean that’s nice to hear, but actions speak louder as they say. There should be proof of true heart change that comes with an apology. It’s not an overnight job to heal the wounds that have been there since you were a child or for a while. God is able to do anything, but your heart first has to be willing… willing to see the truth so it can set you free and then do the healing HeArtwork inside of you for lasting proof and change. The one that hurt you might genuinely feel bad for hurting you at the beginning or embarrassed others saw or heard about what they did… but that doesn’t mean or prove they’ve healed or wouldn’t do something hurtful to you again. They have to first heal the unhealed places inside their heart that contributed to their unloving behavior and speech. They also cannot give or share something with you they do not have… something they have never received from the Father of Love. They need the Love Teacher Himself… the Heart Healer… to give them Love Lessons and heal their inner wounds. And until that happens, loving wisdom must guide your every step.
Otherwise, it will set you up for a repeat of getting hurt again. Until they heal what is hurting them… they will likely hurt you again. They cannot give you something they do not know… do not understand… and have not experienced. And if they keep hurting you even after they do know…or keep justifying their unloving ways of speaking to you or about you… that is a clear sign they have more healing to do… and you need to make a wise and emotionally safe choice for your own heart. You do not have to put yourself in close relational access with someone who keeps re wounding you. Wisdom is not rejection… it is protection. And Love always protects.
And here’s something else the Father of Love has been teaching my heart… there is no revenge or vindictive energy in me. None. I genuinely pray and hope that those who have hurt me… or hurt others I love… will heal from whatever taught them or convinced them that it was okay to treat me or other people that way. I don’t want them punished… I want them healed. I want them to know the Father of Love… the Heart Healer… the Heart Mender… the One who can repair the places in them that their hurtful behavior comes from. And this desire for their healing keeps your heart and my heart soft.
But until they heal… until they get a different heart set and mind set… until they learn not to treat others in hurtful ways… you may need to give yourself some relational safe space from them. Not as punishment… not as rejection… but as wisdom. Safe space is not cutting people off… it’s protecting and preserving the peace and healing you’ve found in the Father of Love’s Love. It’s refusing to enable unloving behavior. Love does not enable what is unloving. Love protects. Love guards the heart. Love honors the healing the Father of Love has begun in you. And this is how you love yourself well.
Your greatest act of Love is not to let them keep hurting you… your greatest act of Love is to pray for them… to bless them… and to give them the healing space they need with the Father of Love so He can heal their Know Nots and unhealed wounds… the very places their hurtful words and actions come from. You are not abandoning them… you are entrusting them to the only One who can truly heal them. And entrusting is an act of Love.
You are not a victim. You are a Victor in Christ Jesus. So keep on healing from the inside out. The more you see… become aware of… and heal… the more you will not make their issues about you. They won’t be able to play you like before. The most loving thing you can do for them is pray for them… that they will come to know… see… and experience the healing Love of God from the inside out. And as you heal, you will see clearly again.
And hear this loving truth gently… the Father of Love is sorry for how they have hurt you. But He wants you to be free from letting them make their bad behavior your responsibility. Only Love Himself… the Heart Repairer… can fix what is hurting inside of them that causes them to hurt others… and you. You just keep working on your part with the Father of Love… healing your Know Nots with His beautiful healing Love. And in that healing, you will find peace.
And if you’ve been hurt, know this gently… Child of Love… you are worth consistently and genuinely being treated with kindness… respect… honor… and value. You always were… maybe you just didn’t know it or believe it. Maybe you didn’t know it because there were those people who told you in your life they loved you but misrepresented the Father’s love and kind of love to you. Only you and the Father of love know the answers. If you’ve armored up your heart, it’s time to disarm. As you receive His Love, His Love will free you to love yourself with His Love… to love others (including those who have wounded and hurt you) and to receive His Love from those who are still in your life who represent His love well to you. He will show you how to love… and how to be loved. And this is where your heart begins to bloom again.
I know it’s easy to lock up your heart quickly, but instead, invite the Heart Healer in today. Let Him go into the places you haven’t let anyone back into. Let His Love teach you. Let His Love highlight His Kingdom Lovers… those who have encountered and experienced His healing Love and will love you beyond your imagination… and will never want to hurt you. And when you meet them, you will recognize them by the fruit of Love in their lives.
Once you let the Heart Healer in, let the healing and blooming begin. Then enjoy His Love gifts… His friends, too… who will know how to love you with His Life… His Light… and His Love. Kingdom Lovers… keep keepin’ your Love on.

]Real friends don’t gossip… they don’t betray…they pray. And so, this Heart2Heart healing time in the House of Love is just for you… a quiet place where you can finally set down the heavy weight you have been carrying. I know your heart has been pierced by someone you trusted… someone who promised to keep the stories of your heart safe… someone who should have protected you… someone close enough to wound you in places only trust can reach. And betrayal comes in many forms… sometimes through gossip… sometimes through broken promises… sometimes through abandonment… sometimes through deception… sometimes through rejection… sometimes through someone walking away when you needed them to stay… sometimes through someone choosing someone else over you… sometimes through emotional neglect… sometimes through harsh words spoken when your heart was already tender… sometimes through someone using your vulnerability against you… sometimes through someone pretending to care while quietly wounding you behind your back. Whatever form it took, the wound was real… and it touched a tender place inside you.
And you are not confused about whether you feel safe with them… you already know you don’t. Trust was broken… and because trust was broken, communication faded too. But that does not mean you haven’t forgiven them. Forgiveness lives in your heart… even while wisdom guards the inner courts of your soul. You can forgive someone completely and still choose to love them from a safe distance… you can release the hurt and still refuse to give them access to the tender places of your heart again. They may no longer be part of your inner circle… but that does not mean you wish them harm. You simply no longer trust them with the stories of your heart… and that is wisdom, not fear.
What they did to you speaks of the unhealed wounds inside their own heart… not yours. You do not carry responsibility for their choices… you do not carry shame for closing the door to protect your heart… you do not carry guilt for not wanting to be hurt like that again. And your silence toward them was not wrong… it was wisdom… it was peace keeping… it was choosing not to return hurt for hurt. And even though you no longer share your heart with them… you still pray for them. You pray they will heal… you pray they will discover who they are in Christ… you pray they will know their worth and value and the deep Love of God so they can learn to love and treat others, including themselves, with His Love. You pray they will be healed from whatever inside them caused them to betray you… because you do not want them to keep hurting inside or hurting anyone else again.
And here inside the House of Love… you are safe. None of that hurtful behavior lives here… none of those whispers or wounds or betrayals can cross the threshold of the Home of His Heart. When you step inside, Love Himself spreads His feathered wings around you… wrapping you in the warmth of His tenderness… and every arrow that was aimed at your back falls powerless to the ground. This is what He does for you… His Child of Love. He turns toward every weapon formed against you and places Himself between you and the wound… He shields your heart with His own presence… He guards your name in the light of His Love… He refuses to let the harm done to you define you. And even in the places where the not so good has touched your life… He gathers it into His hands and brings something good out of it… because nothing that happens to His Child of Love is ever wasted inside the House of Love.
Here… you can rest. Here… you can breathe again. Here… you can lay down the heavy baggage of hurt at the door of Love and never pick it up again. Here… you can heal Heart2Heart with the One who never betrays… never wounds… never speaks a word that harms. And here, in the warmth of His kindness, every sorrow that followed you in begins to flee away in the light of His Love. Come inside, Love… there is room for you here… there is time for you here… there is healing for you here… you are safe inside the House of Love.
