I agree. The healthiest thing for me has been to hear the true gospel. The setting free gospel. The "God loves you even when you fail" gospel and the "you can run TO Him rather than away from Him when you sin" gospel. (I know there's more to it too).

When you hear it, it's like "oh, THAT'S God!" It just resonates. Because it's the truth.
