Klappentext "Speaker and bestselling author Madison Prewett Troutt shows you how embracing God's love allows you to truly love yourself and cultivate deep, meaningful relationships"-- Leseprobe 1 Looking for Love Searching in All the Right Places We love love. We love the rush that bubbles up inside when we think about it. We can easily be swept up. Obsessed. Infatuated. We are hardwired for connection. We want to be seen, known, and, yes, loved. We want to be chosen, to be valued. Maybe you could even say we are made to love. But it doesn't take a PhD in the psychology of modern romance to know that finding deep love and connection is, well, not easy. I know this has been true for me. Want a sneak peek of the real conversation going on in my head when I started to write this book as a single woman? How many more wrong ones until the right one? Is there something wrong with me? Do I settle for good enough? What if no one else will love me? What if I end up alone? What if I get hurt again? Why is it so hard to let go? Am I hard to love? Am I enough? Ugh, why can't relationships be easy? How many more breakups until I finally get the whole till death do us part? How many more tears and fears until peace and joy? Will I ever be happy? My guess is I'm not alone in constantly asking these questions. We're glued to our phones, social media, and TV dating shows. We're bombarded with images of love and relationships and sex and happiness and weddings and influencers who seem to have picture-perfect lives. But so many of us feel alone and confused. We're asking, Why hasn't love panned out for me? I'm tired of not being chosen. It might come as a surprise to some that I struggle with thisbut I do. You may know me from season 24 of ABC's The Bachelor, which aired in 2020. You may have read my first book, Made for This Moment. Or maybe you have no idea who I am, but you're desperately hoping to hear something refreshing and helpful on the topic of love. Something that goes beyond Don't have sex until you're married and Wait on God's timing. Though I've tried to put both of those pieces of advice into practice myself, I know that something more is needed during the in-between. We need something greater than a list of rules so that if we do meet our someone, we're ready for them. Trust meI did plenty of dating Madi's way and ended up with regret. I wound up hurt and feeling either like I was being rejected or like I was wasting valuable time and emotions. I'm not perfect and will never claim to bejust ask my friends and family! But I have suffered to the point that I was willing to do something different in order to find peace and joy. I stopped searching for love and instead started at the foundation of love itselfby learning to bring my longings to God and to accept and love myself first. By the way, I think it's worth mentioning that loving yourself doesn't always look how culture and social media make it look. It's not just about posting workout selfies or getting massages with girlfriends. More on that later, but another goal of this book is to encourage you to look beyond what yo...
