Are You Striving to be Loved Instead Of Trusting That You Are?

Trust
Can you picture yourself being encapsulated in God's Love? Do you feel safe?
Himself
you
Colossians 3:1-3  Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.  For you died and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.
What does it mean for us to be hidden with Christ in God? I picture protection, security, and freedom from fear. Freedom from exposure. Freedom from enemies. 
I feel responsible for things.
my things
find our security in
rest our lovability on
Basing our security on love from people leaves us insecure because people don't can't love perfectly. 
I am one
The more secure in Christ's love we become, the less we crave attention and recognition from people.
Satan wants to get us in doubt and unbelief, because it is there that the truth is darkened and we are vulnerable to falling back into old habits.
If the truth of the pure agape' love of God for us becomes eclipsed from our faith, it causes us to stumble backwards, to seek love from the wrong place.
Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death- even death on a cross!
