From Interesting to Amazing

We all want to be loved; everyone knows that

But this desire to be loved is too often put above the necessity to love others

As humans, it’s hard for us to see worth in ourselves if it is not given to us by someone else

This leaves us in an interesting situation

If those around us don’t take an interest in us, then our self-worth suddenly starts to disappear

Naturally, when people’s self-worth starts to disappear, their interests start to disappear with it

They close up, they shut down, and they become negative

Hmmm…..  That’s interesting

So inside of every person is an overpowering desire to be loved

This need to be loved can overtake common sense

It’s because this need to be loved drives our inner being

If we don’t feel loved, we instead feel empty

If we don’t feel loved, we begin to lose feeling

If we don’t feel loved where we are, we go and find love somewhere else

The Bible says in John 4:8 that “God is Love”

So, if we want love, then He is all that we really need

Although, loving others fully and relying on God to fill us is not easy

A love for oneself has a tendency to develop

And although it is good to love yourself to a point

God doesn’t want us to rely on the love we can give ourselves

That kind of love is empty

He wants us to rely on the love that He gives and let that love flow out to other people

Then everyone is receiving love from God and from other people

An endless supply of joy streaming down from heaven and flowing out of us to each other

It would be awesome

It’s interesting how when we put ourselves last God puts us first

Matthew 20:16 says “So the last will be first, and the first will be last.”

He makes the answer so plain and obvious

We just need to take hold of the truth, His truth

Except it, and know that it’s God’s way

I hope you found this thought interesting

It’s amazing how God fills us when we put ourselves last

He never fails us when we give all our love to Him

We just have to make sure we let the love that He gives us flow out to others

It would go from an interesting thought to an amazing reality
