Everything changes the moment we feel loved. It is like we have an inner motivation to live. We live for the ones we love. What we love eventually becomes what we worship. What we worship rules our lives. Feeling loved is important and natural. We need to feel loved the same way we need to breathe. If you have ever felt this need you are not alone. This need is important, for it makes us vulnerable to each other. We realize we cannot live in isolation. We conclude we are social beings, and as social beings we must care for one another. The only problem is that because of this vulnerability we enter into relationships with the sole purpose of feeling loved. When this feeling is unmet, our relationships are broken. Because just as we need to feel loved, we have a sinful nature that makes us hate, envy, and hurt those whom we want to love. What an irony! To hurt those whom we love!
The answer... JESUS!!
When we realize that only He can give us the love we need, we stop looking for it in other people. All we want to do is love, and it is a pure love because we are not expecting anything back, because we have everything we need, absolutely everything we need, in Jesus!
Crazy huh?
I don't even know how to put it in words! But the moment we realize we are loved by God, it is the moment we stop seeking others to fulfill that emptiness inside of us! Our whole lives turn around completely. Wow... to want to love without expecting anything in return...what a love! A divine love!
