What if the most powerful step toward healing isn't trying harder—but learning to experience true love right where you are? In this chapter from The Heart Healing Journey, I share a simple phrase that has transformed countless lives: "It's ok that you are not ok." Drawing from my own journey of relentless self-criticism and performance-driven Christianity, I reveals why so many believers stay stuck in cycles of frustration and shame. This isn't about excusing sin or staying stuck. It's about discovering the missing ingredient that makes lasting freedom possible. 📘The Heart Healing Journey: https://markdejesus.com/the-heart-healing-journey-book/ 📘Get The OCD Healing Journey Book Today: https://markdejesus.com/the-ocd-healing-journey-book/ ➡️Get a FREE eBook on the Father’s Love: https://bit.ly/3fGu6t3 ▶️Mark's resource library: https://markdejesus.com/topics/ 👉Support future videos: https://markdejesus.com/donate/ 🌎Join the Healing and Freedom Community: https://markdejesus.com/community 📚Mark's books: https://markdejesus.com/books-by-mark-dejesus/ Music Provided by Epidemic Sound: https://share.epidemicsound.com/73m02k and Audiio: https://ref.audiio.com/3c99d6zk Mark's Podcast and Video Equipment: https://markdejesus.com/equipment/ Disclaimer: The content published is for informational purposes.
