Today i'm going to be brief, not because there's hardly anything to say on this topic but because sometimes less is better.
If you want to hear something long here's a lecture from the Village Church, that has been one of my "go to" listens when I just feel really single and defined by that, or when I don't feel loved by God

read Psalm 37 (here's a link) http://niv.scripturetext.com/psalms/37.htm
verse 4 says
Take delight in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart.
Delight? How do you take delight in the Lord? In the message above Anne-Lincoln talks about how easy it is to "take delight" or enjoy her favorite clothing store... Delighting in the Lord is like that. Telling Him what you like about whatever it is that you enjoy and thanking Him for your life and senses to enjoy Him through these things. You should totally try it! I often find myself going off on rabbit trails telling God how good, awesome, amazing, impressive, and crazy good He is from a starting point of "i like this or that Lord!"
I love walking around Staples
Walking by the River
Long drives in the country
There are so many things that the Lord has made I just enjoy and these things point to God's personality and character. it's like getting to know a friend. ;)
