Encouragement
Finding love
By Gary George
God's Love is unsurpassed and beyond any human understanding. It is far greater than anything you will ever experience in your lifetime. In the depths of my heart, I longed to be loved in a very intimate and personal way. I had no idea the path I was to partake to find and fulfill the depths of my soul. A path through the world of darkness. Unfortunately, it took me years to see that the path I had chosen would only lead to heart ache and despair.
As the caller calls, Jesus, it would be Him alone where I would find true completeness. Completeness not of my own understanding but one that would go to the depths of the deepest desires of my heart that I didn't even know I had. Desires only my creator would know of. Jesus truly fulfills and satisfies me. Our heart’s desires and needs go so much further than our finite minds will ever understand. Jesus loves me, moreover He alone is the lover of my soul. I believe we search for a comfort, a nurturer. We turn to things without knowing that we actually are longing to just be loved in the most intimate way. In a way only our Father in heaven can facilitate. Jesus is the only one I have found to be the most kind, gentle, meek, and forgiving. He is the only one who adorns us with this one true love that is truly agape.
In this world many things provide temporary, partial fulfillment. However, once the "high" or "satisfied feelings" are over we have to once again search. There are things of this world that we connect and attach ourselves too. They do give us some sense of fulfillment, however, we soon realize they always leave us with some sort of void. Either the fulfillment was not enough or it didn't last very long and so we are back to square one wanting to be fulfilled again. We then continue to go on our own understanding and try again only to be let down. Thus we look at things that we think will complete us but all along He just stands there and knocks.
I am very emotional so I looked to the stuff that provided me with emotional fulfillment. I went on my own understanding. I was on a journey thinking I could get fulfilled through physical affection, music, and even movies. I thought all this stuff would fulfill. These things just didn’t do it for me. What I didn’t know was that God had a plan for me, a plan to fulfill me with His Love. A Love that is so kind and gentle. Jesus was knocking and wanting to indwell in my heart the whole time. I always knew He was there but I didn't know He wanted to hold my hand and walk with me as my daddy. I can just imagine all the times when I was going about things my way how He must of just wept greatly knowing how hurt I would be.
I have forsaken what the world had to offer. I run to the one who Loves me. Jesus. He loves us dearly. This love I speak of is so grand that words cannot express the extent of its hand. Only through the blood and saving knowledge and power of Jesus Christ can one begin to experience what it is all about. God. His Love gives us completeness. God is Love, He is Love, He defines Love. I am so thankful that God opened my eyes to His Love. I am in Love with Jesus and His Love is the greatest Love I have ever experienced in my life.
