Living loved. What a concept. Do you go day in and day out with highs and lows? It’s great to live loved by someone you live with or maybe a parent, a boss, coach, your children – you name it, it is your life. But what happens when they take advantage of that love? Or what happens when they fail to meet your expectations in that love? Oh, the roller coaster it must be to fully live on the sleeve of another person. After all, people can falter and fail, so what can we do?
How about putting your life in the hands of God Himself. “…rely on the love God has for us” (1 John 4:16) That’s right, it’s God – imagine waking up everyday to find that you are completely satisfied with who you are – not based on what you look like, what grade you got on that test, how you did on your business presentation – but just because you are one of his children, you are complete and whole by His love. Do you think that God loves you any less because you faltered or failed? Have you woken up to unemployment, divorce, mounting debt, strained children relations? Who did you put those issues in the hands of? Was it someone else or even yourself? Maybe you thought you could shoulder the weight of the burden and all would be okay, but it didn’t exactly work out in the end. Don’t put your faith and your love in the hands of people, including yourself! God is the only one who will take care of your struggles, He has made you His child and He knows exactly what you need to be content in this life. Remember that this life is not our final destination, God has a Heavenly home designed for us. A home where there will be no more pain and no more sorrow.
Put Christ’s love for us in the middle of all things, His love was enough to defeat sin and death, and His love is enough to cure your heart. Put your faith in the strong arms of God and He will not fail you. Only by doing this can we then start loving others unconditionally and without any expectation of anything in return. So get off the rollercoaster of love through man and get on the straight path of God’s love. Go and love, because you are loved by the Most High!
