How can I explain this in a way that

I'll understand? Your worth doesn't depend on whether someone else loves you. (Your worth doesn't depend on whether you love you either, oh my goodness, just

don't even.) "Did God really say -" Stop.

God said that those who call on His name will be saved. Having called on His name, you are saved, you are chosen,

you belong

to Him. And yes, that's only the beginning, but it's also the end. He already told you that He's both. Why are you

still trying to be worth it? First of all, be loved. Last of all, be loved. Do your best to love

somewhere in between. Maybe

all those people harping on the love you should do are just concerned about how short the time is. (Is time short? I was five yesterday.) In between doesn't leave much

time to love. And that's okay. Love only does time on Thursdays. Don't be afraid to

try again.
