“LOVE!!”

I know all of you have heard of dating sites for those looking for love and companionship. There is even one for older people. The advertisements for these sites make it look like they are the answer to your search for the love of your life.

I have no idea if this works or not, but I do know that the search for Love, Companionship, and Meaning in life is a worldwide quest.

We are created with a deep need for love and a deep need to matter to someone.

When a human being loves you, whether it is a mom, dad, sibling, girlfriend, boyfriend, husband, wife, friend, etc., it gives a warm feeling of belonging.

However, since human love is fallible, we sometimes find ourselves unloved by the person you thought loved you the most. Marriages fall apart because people disappoint each other or think the ultimate love is found in someone else.

Parents and children lose that love connection because of disagreements and strife and friendships dissolve over pointless things.

Why, because we are imperfect humans looking to other imperfect humans to fill that love area of our heart that only the creator God can fill.

May I tell you that if you do not know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior your quest for love and meaning will take you in and to all the wrong places.

The Creator breathed into us His very breath and is still giving us breath every day of our life. Why because He Loves each of us more than we can imagine.

He desires that you receive that Love from Him and let Him fill that Love hole in your heart and then you can love others and receive their love without expecting them to fill that place that only God can fill.

If you are breathing as you are reading this God has Blessed you with another day, and you are Loved and Cared for by Him even if you do not receive it.

If you are not walking in companionship with the Lord Jesus and if you do not feel His peace and the warmth of His Love within you, I would love to be able to just transport it from my heart to yours.

But each of us must receive this Love and Companionship for ourselves. We must each make the decision to receive the Perfect Love God has for us. It will never stop and never change, and He will never give up on you.

He Loves you even when you do not receive it, and He pursues you. But what a companionship when you make the choice to walk with the creator God!

What freedom is ours then to love others! There is a gospel song that has a couple of lines that say:

“I am Loved, I am Loved, I can risk loving you.
For the one who knows me best loves me most.”

Have you been hurt by a human love in the past? It could be a dad or mom that left and even died. It could be a spouse that left you or died or a friend that rejected your friendship or a child who decided they did not need you.

This hurt will sometimes fill us with fear of loving again. But may I tell you that the Love of Almighty God can fill us with His perfect Love and heal our hurts.

Then we are free to love others as we should. Not with a dependence on them that they cannot possible fulfill, but with a love that gives because we are full of love from the Lord Jesus Christ.

We all have seen people whom many would label as takers. They are always concerned with self and are always concerned with what they are getting or not getting out of something. They are in relationships where they are constantly taking.

Why? Because they are depending on humans to fill the place only God can fill.

May I invite you today to make Jesus your Savior. If He is your Savior, I invite you to make Him Lord! Let Him fill all of you with His Love!

Then go out and Love others as we only can when we are filled with His Love!

Ephesians 3:19 (KJV)
And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.

1 John 4:9 (KJV)
In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.

1 John 4:16 (KJV)
And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.

Father God, may we love with your love flowing through us. Help us to receive your love fully so that we can love others the way we were created to love. Thank you that you fill that Love Hole in our heart to overflowing when we just come to you. Bless each person who reads this with the desire to allow your Love in them. In Jesus name I pray. Amen

I Love you with the Love of Jesus!
