To Be Truly Loved

trulyloved

Blessed is the influence of one true, loving human soul on another. – George Eliot

There is no experience like that of being loved. Nothing can ever compare to it. No wealth could ever be sufficient to replace it.

To be loved is to be noticed by another soul. It is to be truly seen for who we really are, to be accepted, to be cherished and remembered.

When we are loved, we feel valued, and we finally believe that we are precious.

The rest of the world can walk away, but as long as we know that somebody out there loves us, we are consoled. There is nothing that can take away our happiness.

When we are loved, we feel that we have finally found our true home. We are no longer lost because we have been found. We are no longer blind because we now see, and we are indeed seen for the core of who we are.

We can never underestimate the value of loving another person. It is this experience alone, this encounter, this event, that changes us and makes us whole.

“Therefore behold, I will allure her,
and bring her into the wilderness,
and speak tenderly to her.
I will give her vineyards from there,
and the valley of Achor for a door of hope;
and she will respond there,
as in the days of her youth,
and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.
It will be in that day,” says the LORD,
“that you will call me ‘my husband,’”…
-Hosea 2:14-16, WEB-BE
