Musing on how everyone benefits from knowing someone loves them. And many people suffer from feeling like no one loves them.
Some people may be loved by others but not believe it.
Or some may have a character that is hard to love. Some may know they have this character and some may not realize how they make it hard for others to love them.
And some do not know what real love is, they do not know how to really love others and they may not recognize when someone really loves them.
One thing is sure whether or not people acknowledge it. The life of Christ declares love and the power of love.
Christ did not live to satisfy His will, or what He liked most, or what made Him most comfortable, what gave Him the most pleasure, etc. He simply came to do the will of the Father. If we also take on this mind of Christ we will come to know what it means to truly love and be loved. Love does not always give us warm fuzzy feelings. Love does not always make people comfortable or feel good. Yet love is kind, longsuffering.
If you want to be loved by others realize the love Christ has for you. How He suffered in this flesh and willingly laid down His will and life to save yours because He loves you. He loves in deed and truth and calls us to do the same. We can have complete satisfaction knowing God loves us regardless of how others may treat us. What is most important other than having a revelation of His love for us is;
Are we loving others as He has loved us?
We need to focus on what we need to change about ourselves. We need to be more ready to understand others than seek to be understood.
May we be vessels of His love in this short life we have on earth.
