How do you know you can expect to be loved?

Discussion question for July 22, 2022.

Being loved and accepted for who you are is a fundamental need for humans.  What does it mean to you that you are entitled to be loved?  When did you first come to believe that you are unconditionally accepted?  How do you know when someone loves you?  How do you know God loves you, personally?  How do you display love and acceptance to others?  Who do you know who is genuinely happy to see you when the occasion arises?
