Relationship to Relationship

The need to be loved, by your spouse/significant other, your kids, any human being, the world, this need stems from your belief that you are not lovable. The degree to which this belief is held is the degree to which you seek Love outside of yourself. God, as always, is the answer. For the more you know His Love, the more you have self Love, and the less you seek outside of yourself. When you don't feel His Love, you desperately seek that Love outside of yourself to validate that you are lovable and to fill the hole of longing for that Love. These are the people you see who go from relationship to relationship seeking to find one that will fulfill them and give them this Love, but this will never happen as long as they search outside themselves for His Love.
