“May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete...” — Ephesians 3:18-19, NLT
In a world where love is often portrayed as a feeling or emotion, it's easy to look for it in all the wrong places. We look to others for love and acceptance in the hopes that they will satisfy our most fundamental needs and desires. And this is very understandable. Everybody wants love. It is the deepest desire of the human heart.
Think of how many people act out because they haven't received love. Think of how you have insecurities and how it hurts you when people reject you or fail to give you what you want from them. However, the reality is that no one, no matter how loving or kind they are, can satisfy all of our needs. We can only be fully satisfied and whole in God's love. We are reminded of the immeasurable character of God's love in Ephesians 3:18– 19. It isn't constrained by space, time, or circumstances. God's love is an action, not just a sentiment, as evidenced by the death of His Son on the cross.
This love is constantly available to us and is sufficient to sate all of our needs. We will always be let down when we look to others for love. People are flawed and imperfect, so we can always count on them to disappoint us. People either don't know what you truly need or are too busy with their own life to think about how badly you need love. But God knows exactly what you need, and His love for you is perfect and unchanging. It is unfailing and unwavering. We are made whole when we experience the fullness of His love. It's crucial to understand that wanting someone's love and acceptance is not necessarily a bad thing. We were made for relationships and connections with those around us, to love and to be loved. But when we rely on those connections for all of our happiness, we miss out on the boundless love that God extends to us. Our primary relationship should be with God, who is the source of all other relationships. He desires to pour out His love on you, to make it real to you in the depth of your being. Let Him
