He loves me... He loves me not

Hey

Have you questioned whether or not a certain person loves you or cares about you?

Sometimes, I seek affirmation and signs. I like to be reassured. 

I have gone to the extent of thinking “Maybe he does not care about me or love me because he did not do this or is lacking in that (insert action/quality trait) or when he does not follow through on how I want things to be."

This made me reflect and question...is this line of thought correct?

But isn’t this also very narrow minded of me?

Who am I to make such conclusions just because it’s not how I want it to be? 

It took time for me to realize that I have been playing the silly game of “He loves me, he loves me not”

At times I was also like this with God. If certain expectations/desires/goals are not met, are these grounds for me to think that God loves me less?

I don’t think so. Maybe I have failed to see how else God or this person loves me. 

I guess I may be lacking in the receiving end of love--in having faith and trust in God/ that person.

At times, we may need to ask in prayer, for our eyes to be open to see the blessings and the love we are surrounded with. 

Instead of noticing what is lacking, you and I may see what we have been receiving.

Peace be with you!
