Wind blowing, rain falling, I stand here alone. Or so it sometimes appears that way, anyway. There are times in my life where I just long for someone to know me. I long for someone to accept me just exactly as I am. And for years I've searched and searched for the person on this earth that would love me unconditionally. My heart aches even now because that fulfillment is so impossible. I just want someone to hold me close and tell me they love me no matter what happens. No matter what I do, what I say, where I go.....
I'd say that's the search we are all on, in some fashion or another. Every single one of us have that need in our hearts -- we want to be loved in a perfect way. We run from person to person seeking the one who might love us and be everything we need them to be. I have spent years doing this, and have come up short. Here I stand, having nobody on this earth who can ever truly love me like I need to be loved. Sometimes I feel it, and other times I don't.
There will never be a moment in our lives where someone here will be able to love us like that, though. I have come deeply to this realization. We all fall short--we are not capable of loving anyone that way either. The hole we have in our hearts--the one that so long has desired to be loved completely comes from the Lord God of Israel. That need is so that we will come running to Him, finding no peace and love (of perfection) on this earth from anyone. This perfect love comes from the Lord. I know this, not only because I feel it, but also because Jesus has promised us in John 15:9 "As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love." This is what I have to rest my assurance in--that Jesus Christ loves me and He loves YOU. Let our searches be over, let our broken wounded hearts be lifted up in this promise! Let us abide in His Love--the pure and perfect kind.
