Our human hearts ever long for love.
To love and to be loved.
Completely.
Unconditionally.
We want someone to know us deeply and love us anyway.
We want to know we are special to someone.
Pursue love. Don't quit. Don't become jaded or discouraged or lost.
Someone is waiting for you to love them and to love you back.
(Now I am gonna turn this around a little.)
Jesus Christ is waiting for you too.
Waiting to give you life, and love, and a deep intimacy with God beyond your wildest dreams.
I switched it on you, didn't I?
Human love vs God's love. The thing is, He designed it this way.
The way we long to love and be loved by another person here on earth is a picture for us of the love we can have with Jesus Christ. It is on purpose that He created us to long for human love and intimacy. He wants us to learn to love and pursue a relationship and intimacy both with a spouse and with a Savior.
Then as we grow in that relationship with our spouse we can see parallels to how we can grow in our relationship with God. Deeper and deeper and find completeness in Him, on a spiritual level.
No spouse, no problem. You can still grow and learn from the love you find in friendships and mirror that with your Savior.
He has created over and over pictures of relationships all around us. There is a trust and vulnerability I have with my best friends that teaches me how to trust and be vulnerable with God.
Just don't get so caught up or dependent on the human relationships that you fail to develop the spiritual relationship HE DESIGNED for you to have with Him from the moment you were conceived.
He has been pursuing you. Have you noticed? Have you responded?
He loves you. Completely. Unconditionally. Pursue Him. And don't stop.
