Yes, I was crying at the end. This is exactly what I struggle with too (another enneagram 9 here). Thank you for sharing so openly about this!

You are right! It’s not just for you! I struggle with how much God loves me. I want to believe it, but there’s past events and traumas that make me doubt this.

John was the disciple whom Jesus loved. When I realized that John wrote this about himself and not Jesus preferring him over the other disciples, it was an eye-opener for me to declare that for myself!

Yes! Every time I read where John referred to himself as the disciple whom Jesus loved, I put my name in there. Any one of them could have written that, but John is the one who really knew it and believed it.

The longer I do this writing thing, the more I figure out it’s not just for me. That’s what I used to think. It is definitely helpful for me, but it gives others permission to admit their own feelings and struggles. We surely are not in it alone
