We were created with a need for unconditional love. To the degree that we don’t receive it, we die. (We see this in babies: those who don’t receive love and affection fail to thrive).
When we don’t receive this love, our body knows that a need basic to existence is going unmet. So, it starts to fight for life. There is an inner rage.
Someone who doesn’t know God’s unconditional love lacks peace of mind. There is no peace in trying to earn love.
God wants us to experience His intense, passionate, unconditional love for us. Jesus’ love is what brings peace to our lives. That is why He is referred to as the Prince of Peace.

"I've been a WH podrishioner for several years now and I can't tell you how much it has changed my life. I came across these podcasts at a time when I was in an extremely unhealthy/abusive situation, and these teachings were immensely influential to me maintaining my faith and sanity. THANK YOU for showing me what a Jesus-looking God is like and what it means to follow Him. Many, many blessings to all of you!"
