STOP STRUGGLING TO BE LOVED

STOP STRUGGLING TO BE LOVED

There are times when you work so hard in the kingdom that you develop a warped spiritual mentality. You view your value through the eyes of works. The one who has always struggled for significance, trying to feel accepted in natural life, will tend to carry that mentality over into spiritual life. Before long it is not just a struggle for significance but a struggle to feel loved. Doing is wonderful and necessary in the kingdom but it must come out of love, never to be loved.

Being around doers is very exciting, but there are some who feel that if their doing does not keep pace, they less valuable and therefore less loved. Some of you are crying on the inside longing for someone to love you and you are exhausted physically trying to do to keep feeling loved. The problem lies in the fact you do not understand that "My Father is love." 1 John 4:8 (AMP) true love is never earned, respect yes, but never love. Security is based on a foundation of love. The insecure person is a person who does not feel loved. A child who has been neglected in the home because the parents are too busy, will constantly search for someone to love them and affirm their value.

This does not stop when you are born again. Many still work hard for the kingdom trying to earn the right to be loved. Soon a tormenting spirit enters the scene and they work night and day being told "you are not worthy to be loved, and you never will be, so give up, and curse the day you were born". Many people who look lazy are really not, they have just given up trying to be loved. Please listen, I love you, without exceptions and "My Father so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He even gave Me up, His only begotten (unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Me will not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life." John 3:16 (AMP)

We did this before you were born, so how could the creators love for you be based on your work. Stop struggling, and tell the tormentor to go back to hell, and know you are unconditionally loved by the King of Kings. It has nothing to do with what you do, but who you are, a created human being, created to be loved.
