The term “Relentless” actually means “incessant” or never-ending, doesn’t stop, no matter what.
I first reflected deeply on this term after listening to a Hillsong United song titled “Relentless”. This song talks about how God’s love for us is relentless, never-ending, always wanting and chasing after us, no matter what. I’ll repeat NO MATTER WHAT. I then thought to myself how it’s like the love I have for my own son. Tino could literally do anything and it would never change how I love him. I then thought about applying this to self-love.
How miraculous would this be to have such a love for own selves? Sure, when things are going well we tend to acknowledge ourselves in a positive light, but what about when things are not going well? What about when the shit hits the fan and it’s our own fault?
I’ve been working on this type of self-love journey more closely this past year. I still have some moments when I get rigid with myself because “I should have known better” or actually did slash do know better but made decisions that were misaligned with my authentic truth. I’m sure you can relate or you wouldn’t have landed on this page.
How beautiful would it be to instead pursue ourselves with an unrelenting love? A love that always is compassionate and nurturing. Regardless of the “mistakes” or should have, could have, would haves.
This is the love with which we need to care for ourselves. It’s not egotistical, it’s not self-centered, so please don’t confuse the two. It’s an unrelenting love that even in the midst of the stress and uncertainty enters our own heart and says “no matter how bad you effed up, and regardless of the reasons why, I forgive and I still love you, keep moving forward”. It doesn’t judge, it doesn’t bash. It’s gentle and it’s calming, an inner sense of stability and strength. The one person you need to have your back most is you.
That’s what we are here to do in these 7 days. (And beyond) I’m so excited and honoured to share this journey with you.
