What’s it all about?

Published on by The Love We CraveLeave a comment

This is a blog about the love we crave. It’s about the love between mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, friends, boyfriends, girlfriends, husbands, and wives. We all crave it. What happens when we fall short? What about when they fall short? My prayer is that this blog will help us all learn how to love each other better, how to stand up for ourselves in a healthy way, and how to let God love on us as never before.

If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.  If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing. 1 Corinthians 13:1-3 (NIV)

Go Where the Love is….

Go where the love is. Go where it flows freely, not where you have to wish and wait for it to appear or feel like you have to milk it to get it. We wake up hungry for love and go to bed just as hungry. God designed us this way. If we have people in our lives that fill our cups, we are so blessed! There are days when, no matter what or who attempts to love us, it’s still not enough…..This is exactly why God created us this way. Only He can refuel us when the loneliness and sadness kicks in. We may try to compensate with sex, drugs, alcohol, people pleasing, and staying “busy” but, ultimately, the sadness and loneliness will kick back in. We are humans, we are flawed, He LOVES us anyways. Hold on to that for dear life. Thank GOD we don’t have to be perfect for Him to love, forgive, and accept us. His grace covers us.
