Radical thought:

"What if we lived loved?
It'd change the way we hear things...
It'd also change our guilt. -'God demonstrates His love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.'  Our need for guilt wiped clean.
...this robs us of our right to be depressed and wallow in our guilt.  Could you imagine giving up fear, giving up pride, giving up guilt--changing over those motivations for new ones of love and gratitude??"

What if we lived loved?

We tend to overestimate our own needs.

Likely due to overthinking.

But what if we lived as if we're genuinely unconditionally loved.

Because we genuinely are.  Yet how often do we get mixed up in fear,
or loneliness,
or anxiety,
or discontentment...

Why are those the things that win out then?
Why do we decide that it's those things that dictate so much of our hearts' makeup. 
But if we're unconditionally loved, then we're given freedom to stray from those things.
rather than from Truth.
We're given a voice against the lies.
Yet how often do we recognize that we even have such an outlet.

I have something to say.  and a deep-rooted passion to propel the words.
yet have lived as if vocally paralyzed.

I marinate in that today, wondering how different my life would be...
my voice would be...
if I lived loved.
