Sometimes I wonder if God gave us a longing for unconditional love
because He knew it could lead us back to Him?
Throughout high school and college, I struggled with an aching emptiness that eventually led to depression. I remember there was one afternoon I was thinking about my life, wondering why I felt so empty.
“I thought about my dreams of marrying my high school sweetheart. Dreams that crumbled because I expected him to be everything I needed and wanted.
I thought about my professors and friends whose approval I so desperately wanted.
I thought about how hard I’d worked to graduate with honors to prove my worth, and wondered why none of it was enough.
Then, all of the sudden, I sensed God whisper to my heart a thought I’d never had:
“All you’ve ever wanted is unconditional love, but you’ll never find the love you need in anyone but Me!”
All my life I’d been looking, and HE was there the whole time. Waiting for me to receive His unfailing and always-filling love.
A love I had looked and longed for; a love I couldn’t find in anyone or anything but Him.” from Chapter 6, A Confident Heart
Only Jesus offers the unfailing and always-filling love we long for.
