What does it mean to be REALLY loved?

Have you ever wanted to find the kind of love that is lasting? Did you think you found everlasting love and then it went away? Have you considered digging deeper and finding love from a spiritual perspective? There are 280 citations in the Bible that talk about love. For instance Deut 6:5 “And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.” It doesn’t say love just a little or when we feel like it. How can we possibly love God that much? Jesus tell us in Luke 6:27 “But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.” Wow. How often do we actually do that. It is so much easier to react in a bad way when people are not doing good to you. However, Jesus commanded us to Love our enemies. If we spend our time forgiving and loving unconditionally, then we are open to feeling God’s love for us. God has already wrapped us in his arms of divine Love. His love for us never ever goes away. We are His beloved and cherished child. Sometimes we don’t feel God loving us, but that’s when we’re not really listening. We must question our thoughts every moment of every day “Is this thought a good, loving thought?” “Is this thought full of peace, forgiveness and love, or full of negative thinking?” The more we practice turning our thought to love, we will begin to feel the unconditional, never ending, always available Love that God gives us. Every kind, loving thought we think means we love God. Every time we forgive, we are loving God and his children. Keep doing this. Include yourself in this forgiveness. Soon you will begin to find that you are already filled with the everlasting love from God.
