- "Good morning!"
- "I love you."
- "Hey beautiful."
- "I love you, good night."
There's days where I feel like, I'm alone even if I do get messages like the ones above. I know I could be so inconsiderate and I just start my day off with the wrong foot. Everyone has those days. I remember this one instance, I was having such a terrible, miserable day, I think it was because I was being a drama queen. I didn't realize at the time, the only one I was harming was myself. I was listening to one of my favorite songs; in which I could remember one verse: "Like it or not it's the way it's got to be. You got to love yourself if you could ever love me."-Lifehouse "whatever it takes". Now, I have no idea why that part stayed with me, all I know is that when it comes to knowing what real love is, it has to come from within. If something is a love-hate relationship then, its not worth it. We need to learn that in order to receive, we must learn how to recognize what true love is, we need to love ourselves before loving someone else. Like a baby's first steps require admiration and all the attention, that's exactly what we need in order to become a better person in life.
Like the daily text messages I receive, our Heavenly Father doesn't forget to demonstrate how immense His love is. It doesn't matter how small it is, or how big it is. There is not a day that goes by that I don't feel special. There's not a night that goes by without me praying and feeling like God has heard and answered my prayers. Though there's days, there's days that I feel hopeless, but then I remember "I am a daughter of Our Heavenly Father, and he loves me." Maybe in the midst of my hopelessness, there's selfishness blinding me to see how wonderful my life is. I know he loves me, I know because without God's will I wouldn't have all the blessings I have today.
1 John 4:18
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
