I am asking this because I know throughout my youth I was conditioned to believe I was unworthy of love. This was partly due to a troubled childhood, and partly due to church preaching. As a result, I never felt I was worthy of love and brought that perception of "self" into my marriage. I believe that is part of the reason my marriage is over. There were many contributing factors, but I think it is possible that my husband found it difficult to love me due to my own lack of self-confidence. I've been healed quite a lot emotionally in the last 15 years, but that did not save my marriage.
I thought I'd open a new thread and ask if you believe you are worthy of love and if you think all living beings are worthy of love. I say this because my pets who are living beings certainly seem to have a need to be loved. And they are worthy of love. Also, it's interesting how there is so much love of pets even among those who do not feel particularly loving toward humans - perhaps because animals really do not have the capacity to offend us in the way that humans do.
Everyone who is reading this is either a son or a daughter of God, even the ones who do not acknowledge His existence. As such, we are all worthy of love.
And don't even get me started on my pets. That's love as pure as it comes.
As a human being, God has determined we have some intrinsic worth. So yes--in a sense, I am worthy of love.
On the other hand, there is not a person alive that has not sinned against God, offended him, and is deserving of being cast into the pit of hell. The good news is that Jesus died on the cross to pay the penalty for anyone that trusts in him.
Love is the greatest virtue; it's free from bias or any injustice.
His countenance bore the love of God, not the sins of men.
You're so close to the truth, but I would remind you what Jesus said about the purpose of His death.
Matthew 26
28 This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.
Yes ...... the lifting of that burden you bare on your shoulders that comes from belief in separation. Nothing has ever separated us from the love of God in reality and nothing ever will.........but you are free to believe you are and to bare and suffer the burden that comes from believing that you are.

Even the OT believers understood this.... with such statements like he's an ever present help in times of trouble. So laugh as much as you want and carry on promoting the separation that if the truth is known you believe yourself to be until you meet Jesus one day lol.
It comes from the Spirit that dwells within, and good breeding.
