BEING  LOVED

Loving  someone is Very  simple and doable  because  it springs from  the heart and spreads onto the other person.  You understand  how well and important  the person  you love is and why you love  them  the much that you  do.  All the questions  in your  heart are answered...actually  maybe  u may even  never wonder why you love them. It might be because  they're  your  spouse,  your child,  your best friend, your neighbor, a class mate  or  even  someone I haven't  mentioned.  Whoever  that person is!
Loving  someone makes  you happy,  joyous, Complete, excited, and all the other positive  emotions  but also sometimes  mad,  and honestly  I have  never  understood  why I can love someone  and be mad at them at the same  but it has happened  to me million plus times;  this comes as a result  of the desire  for  one's love to be reciprocated, understood and not be taken  for  granted.
a question to all of us is... why love with the hope that you  will be loved?  I can't  answer  that right  now because  it's a desire I have  always  had and I still  do!
It's easy to love someone  that  loves you back.

On the other  hand, being  loved  is receiving and this comes differently and it's perceived  differently as well and I guess  it's because  of different  personalities.
Today  I perceived being  loved  at a completely different  angle;
On 1sept 2017, I gave birth  to a very  handsome  baby boy.  I love him with  everything  that  I am,  firstly  because  I bore him... I carried  him in my womb and he has  some attributes which  stem from  me.  I do everything  to see that he is well,  I wash for  him,  iron  his clothes( I don't  think  he even notices let alone caring  whether  they are ironed or not)  but I do it anyway,  I feed him,  spend long hours  awake,  change his diaper...he even often  pees on me,  destroys the towel with weapons  of mass destruction (poop) just when  I have finished giving  him a bath and I actually  laugh about  it,  everything he does  is amazing  to me and I really  really love him.
" Our  heavenly Father loves you the same way baby," I thought  to myself  today and it made so much  sense and I felt  loved and so happy  and joy sprang from  my inner being. I felt complete and somehow all the answers  I have never  gotten  fell in place and I felt  renewed.  I thought  to myself, "the same feelings  I have  towards  Alpha Myles is the same way God feels about  each one of us . We have his attributes  according  to Genesis 1:27, in his image we were created.... This made my face radiant and I wanted to jump up high and spread my legs... Too much joy it was that I felt and then this reminded  me of a scripture  that says that a mother  can leave a child  they are nursing  but God can never forsake  us... ( paraphrased) . Now that am a mother  I can understand  this perfectly well because  I can not leave  my boy but  also this showed  me how being  loved must make people  feel.
I can not wonder why God has loved  us so much; we are his image,  his own...and like I,  he doesnot mind cleaning our mess and that's why while  we were still sinners,  Christ died  for  us.

I can tell you  exactly  how  it feels  to love and better  still am in position  to tell you how being  loved  feels because  I perceive it and I know it's amazing...a feeling  I can't fathom because  when  God loves, he does and he is never mad.  Paul in his letter  to the Roman's said that  when sin increases, Grace overflows,  I may liken it to changing  my boy's diapers. When his diaper is wet and dirty... I change  him to a dry and  clean  diaper....Grace  makes us clean...and it's our father's love.
