"Letting myself be loved by God is the most important reality in my life" - Brennan Manning 

There is nothing more important than being loved by God.  It is the most basic ingredient to life itself.  To be loved is to bask in the good intention and attention of the lover.  It is to receive the irrational and unmerited affection of another.  To know the love of God is an act of faith.  It is the way of salvation, healing, strength, and peace.  When we are truly love by God not just in principle but in our experience, we are free.  Free from shame, anxiety, and emptiness.  Believe it and you will live.
