148. A Love That Stays

Author: Heidi Fitzsimmons - Inspirational Writer & Podcaster April 2, 2026 Duration: 7:16
Hello, beautiful!   As we enter Maundy Thursday, we step into one of the most sacred moments of Holy Week—a moment of quiet love, surrender, and presence.   In this episode, we slow down together.   Through reflection, scripture, and the powerful imagery of I Can Only Imagine by Mercy Me, we’re invited to consider what it will feel like to stand before Jesus—and what it means to surrender fully before Him.   Inspired by 1 John 3:2 and the humility Jesus showed as He washed His disciples’ feet, this episode is a gentle invitation to release striving, embrace stillness, and rest in a love that never leaves.   As we prepare our hearts for Easter, this becomes a sacred pause… a moment to simply be with Him.   In today’s episode, we reflect on what it means to be seen, known, and loved by Jesus—and how that love invites us into awe, surrender, and quiet worship.   You’ll Learn: 👣 What Maundy Thursday teaches us about love, humility, and surrender 👣 How to embrace stillness instead of rushing toward the resurrection 👣 Why you are already worthy to come before Him—just as you are 🌟 Do you know someone who needs a quiet moment with God? Share this episode— it might be exactly what their heart needs today.   🌿 Please Stay in Touch: 🦋 Support the podcast & share a cup of tea https://buymeacoffee.com/riselovelive 🦋 Follow along on Instagram @riselovelive 🦋 Subscribe & leave a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ review!   And until next time… Ignite inspiration, spread hope, and dance with faith.   With love, 💛 Heidi
