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.
Our experiences teach us about the love of God. Thank you for sharing yours.
