Love. Marriage. Romance.
Painfully complex, nevertheless sought after. I long to be loved, longed to be appreciated, validated, and needed. These desires remain in my heart, yet do they not remain in everyone’s heart as well? Are we all on this earth searching for love, truth, peace, and understanding? Constantly searching (whether we realize it or not) everyday. These thoughts do not consume my life, they merely concern my life. I want to give love and in turn be loved.
John Piper describes true love as the overflow of satisfaction and joy in God, that transcends to meet the needs of others.
This kind of love is groundbreaking, life changing, and a little intriguing. To think that loving means being so satisfied in the sweetness of our Lord, that one simply cannot help but please others. It cannot be tied down or held back.
Wow.
