I feel loved when.....
GO.
Sometimes it's just a touch or a glance.
Sometimes it's, "I'll rub your back for you."
Sometimes it's a text, a phone call, a inbox message, a heartfelt comment on my blog.
Love holds many facets and dynamics for me.
But, I feel the most loved when I am accepted, wholly & completely, wheat & chaff, prickles & hugs.
I feel most loved when I am seen and spoken to and embraced through the eyes of love.
I feel most loved when I am understood, not agreed with patronizingly or argued with unwaveringly.
I feel most loved when my heart is prioritized by another human being.
And yet....
I feel THE MOST loved when I remember HOW much HE loves me....
How His mercy is new each morning
How my life basks in the radiance of His grace
How He dances and rejoices over me
There....
I can rest in His love....His arms.....His heart....
the shelter of His wings.
STOP.
What is Five Minute Friday, you may ask? It is those beautiful moments in time where we take 5....just 5....minutes to share some thoughts, unedited, unsifted, uncalculated....allowing our hearts to be REAL and our minds to just chill.
Join me??

Oh, I love the ending of your post tonight. So beautiful.
Visiting via 5Min Fridays. Yes, I love this cross photo. It reminds me of a cross that I used to hike to on a ranch that our church owned in San Diego. Where we bare it all, at the cross, and he still chooses to tell us we are good. Beautiful. HAve a great weekend!
I love the way you expressed how you feel "most loved." Just lovely. Thank you for sharing. Visiting via 5 Minute Fridays. I especially loved the part "How my life basks in the radiance of His grace." and also the part "I can rest in His love, His arms and His heart the shelter of His wings." Beautiful said.
