We want to be loved and missed because we hold such a special place in someone's heart that they think about us without something or someone reminding them of us. We don't want to be told that we are loved just because someone feels sorry for us or because they feel that "everyone should be told that they are loved and missed." Because though these words are still good and can still be healing when truly coming from the heart...they just aren't as meaningful as when someone tells us they love us just simply because they do...because they think about us...our laugh, smile, personality, warm heart, or fun-loving spirit...but more than that because they've created a bond with us...their heart is tied to ours...and we simply mean something to them...because we are alive their life is that much better.
We should totally tell everyone we love them and show that love to everyone, but next time you tell someone you miss them or love them...think about why you're telling them before you tell them. Think about how much God loves us and how He loves each and every one of us individually for our own personalities, for our own ups and downs, for our own special qualities that make us uniquely us...and then tell someone you love them with your whole heart...think of all their traits and qualities that make you love them no matter what they may be. Because a sincere "I love you" means a lot more than a simple "I love you."
