Ways To Feel Loved

Sometimes it is hard to feel like we are loved. Especially when you struggle with depression or anxiety it feels like nothing will get through to our hearts. Love surrounds you! The truth is you are so loved maybe you are just not recognizing the way others are showing their love because they do not express it like you do. I hope this episode helps you feel loved.https://www.instagram.com/p/DBpfUQntOCS/https://www.instagram.com/p/C9kVAffOLIO/Holes by Scott Lewis and Elders from his mission.I had been in that whole for a very long timeIn the dark and the damp, in the cold and the slimeThe shaft was above me; I could see it quite clearBut there's no way I could ever reach it from here.Nor could I remember the wold way up thereSo I lost all my hope and gave into despairI knew nothing but darkness, the floor and the wallsThen off in the distance, I heard someone call;"Get up! Get ready! There's nothing the matter.Take rocks and old sticks and build up a fine ladder."This had never occurred to me-had not crossed my mindBut I started to stack all the stones I could find.When I ran out of stones, then old sticks were my goalFor one way or another I'd get out of this hole.So I soon had a ladder that was sturdy and tallAnd I thought,"I'll soon leave this place once and for all!"I climbed up my ladder; it was no easy chore,For from lifting those boulders, my shoulders were sore.I climbed up my ladder, but soon had to stopfor my ladder stopped short-some 10 feet from the top.I climbed back down my ladder and started to cryI'd done all I could do. I gave my best tryAnd in spite of my work, in this hole I must dieAnd all I could do was sit and think,"why?"Was my ladder too short? Or my hole much to deep?Then from way upon high came a voice, "Do not weep."And the faith, hope and love entered my chestAs the voice said to me that I'd done my bestHe said, "You've worked hard, you're labors' been rough,but the ladder you've built is at last tall enough.Do not despair. You have reason to hope.Just climb up your ladder; I'll throw down my rope."I climbed up the ladder, the climbed up the cord.When I got to the top, there stood the Lord.I couldn't be happier; my struggle was doneI blinked in the brightness that came from the Son.I fell to the ground, His feet did I kiss.I cried, "What can I do to repay thee for this?"Then He looked all around Him. There were holes in the ground.They had people inside, and were seen all around.There were thousands of holes that were damp, dark and deep.Then the Lord turned to me and He said, "Feed my sheep."Then he went on his way to help other lost souls,and I got right down to work, calling down to the holes;"Get up! Get ready! There's nothing the matter!Take rocks and olds sticks and build up a fine ladder."It was now my turn to spread the good word,the most glorious message that man ever heard.That there is one who is willing to save one and allAnd we've got to be ready when He gives the callHe'll pull us out of the hole that we're inAnd save all our souls from death and from sinSo do not loose faith; there is reason to hopeJust build up your ladder; He'll throw down His rope.Worth Workers!
