We all want to be loved and it is always an honor and privilege to love. When you wake up each day, you can be guaranteed that you are loved. You are loved! Whether or not you feel like it, please remember that you are loved. "For God so [greatly] loved and dearly prized the world, that He [even] gave His [One and] only begotten Son, so that whoever believes and trusts in Him [as Savior] shall not perish, but have eternal life." (John 3:16 AMP) Everyday you wake up to a gift from the ONE who loves you the most.
To be loved doesn't mean that everything will be rosy and perfect all the time. Sometimes it's tough love--and we all need that at different points in our lives... sometimes simply to get back on track... or find a better way to live our lives. "Therefore, know in your heart (be fully cognizant) that the Lord your God disciplines and instructs you just as a man disciplines and instructs his son." (Deuteronomy 8:5) So, remember, even through those unbearable seasons, you are still loved. There is nothing you can do to God that would stop Him from loving you. When you disappoint or disobey Him, He will simply discipline you but never stops loving you. Such grace... even when you don't deserve it. Let's err on the side of caution... to do well and be the most lovable person that God created us to be.
Curious... when you think about it... Are you easy to love? Do you find it easy to love others? What does that really look like? You have the greatest example of what it means to be loved and to love--JESUS. When things are gloomy and you feel like giving up because no one loves you... THINK AGAIN! Look around you and be reminded that you are loved. In terms of practicing daily... take the time to intentionally show love, and be amazed at how you experience love in a special way. Even the "unlovable" (by your definition or standards) deserve to be loved... love always!
