The only one who can satisfy the longing of your heart is the One Who created it. He’s the One Who knows every detail—and every desire. Your soul-filled longing to be loved is a holy emotion. God created you that way…you just have to keep your desires in perspective.
Don’t expect anyone outside the Source of Love—Yeshua—to completely satisfy your longings for love.
Marriage is not the answer. It’s a holy calling, yes, but love doesn’t arrive at the altar. There is love for you here, today, and you have a love story that is meaningful and impactful for the Kingdom. You are being pursued in the ultimate pursuit, the one where Heaven came to earth and Yeshua bought you with His blood.
He gave all of Himself because He wants to give you all He has. That’s the extravagance of His love.
Friend, what is your response to that kind of love? How do you celebrate it in your everyday, when you’re going to the grocery store or cooking dinner in the evening? How do you live in the present, in the knowledge of being perfectly loved, instead of waiting to be loved by Mr. Right?
Yeshua’s love is an anchor, sure and secure. He is committed to you. Everything He does is motivated out of His love for you.
May you be motivated by that love, too. Abide on the vine (John 15), rooted and resting, focusing on the good of this season. Live lavishly loved by the King of Heaven, instead of depressed by disappointment on a human level.
Celebrate the beautiful reality of being beloved, and let that love be seen through you in everything you do.
