Love me love me not#livefree

Its live free Thursday and I am connecting with my friend Suzie at her place www.tsuzanneeller.comm don’t forget to check out the awesome conversation and wisdom at her table.

Today’s prompt: love me , love me not .

Dear friend , I wonder how often you go to the people you interact with and ask a question, “love me or love me not ? “

I mean , sure maybe you do not verbally ask that question . But without realizing it,I think we spend a great deal of time trying to get that question answered.

Which really is a result of a bunch of other questions . Do you notice me ? Am I important to you ? Am I known by you ?
Is my performance enough for you?

I loved performing as a kid . Granted I got kicked out of ballet because I was always put in the corner for talking in class , and I admit .. I am way to clumsy to be a ballerina . So I took up the not quite as popular but oh so fun clogging .

Big poofy dress with pantelloons, Crinlan and red checkered pattern .

So cool . I loved to perform and be noticed .

I still can find myself liking to perform and be noticed . Maybe without the tap shoes and dress .. But with a will you notice my performance ? Will you like me for a job well done ? Will I be enough for you ?

Do you love me ? You love me, you love me not .

Before I know it I have slipped into asking people to answer those questions . And I put pleasing people before anything else.

But as our Proverb of the day 29:25 says The fear of man lays a snare but whoever trusts in the Lord is safe !!

He loves me .
He never loves me not (God that is )

Living out of being loved allows me to freely love !
