Everyone wants to be loved by someone. We don't all know where to look for that love or what form we want that love in, but when someone tells us they love us we feel happy.
Sometimes we look for love by trying to be the best at everything, we mistake recognition for love. Sometimes we look to people for love. Random people, or people we know. We look to friends and family to comfort us in times of need or distress. This is healthy and normal.
Looking to people we know love us to affirm that love can help boost our confidence and kick us out of whatever funk we may have fallen into.
However, this Sunday I experienced the most awesome love. Whilst worshipping in a church service, I found myself crying. Then the worship leader started playing a softer song, and told us to pray for forgiveness, and to forgive ourselves for what we had been holding onto. During this time of prayer, I felt as though someone was giving the biggest and most comforting hug ever. God held me in his arms, and told me that he forgave me everything I had done.
I stood up again later feeling more at peace with the world, and with myself than I had for ages. A weight had been lifted off my shoulders and I hadn't even known it was there.
This is the most amazing love, the best thing that has ever happened to me!
