God: the Lover

You might've heard God referred to as a "lover for the lonely" before. I don't know about you, but at first I kinda giggled a little bit. What are you gonna do, fall in love with a spirit? But then I started thinking about it. You know how when you really love some one, you find yourself thinking about them? And hoping they're thinking about you? Well that's all fine and well (as long as your thoughts aren't dirty), but it kinda sucks when you know for a fact that they aren't thinking about you too... it can even make you more lonely, depressed, etc, than before. But God... fall in love with Him. Think about Him all day, and you'll know for sure that He's thinking about you too... so maybe it's not quite the same kind of romance as another person, but His love is even better than anything a guy or a girl can give you. His love is the utmost form of the word. He thinks about us whether we're thinking about Him or not. He watches us from around the bookshelf, or from around the corner, and never takes His eyes off of us, almost like He's in love with us. We constantly turn away from Him though. Why? We're hurt and lonely and depressed because we want a lover, but then we turn away form the absolute number one lover: Jesus. What is wrong with us? How can we be lonely when the maker of the universe sits with us every second of every day? How we can feel rejected when the god of everything wants us more than anything; so much that instead of sending us a flower or giving us a hug, He gives us the earth, and His own Son. How can we possibly need another person when we have God?!?

It's okay to want a husband or a wife; it's okay to want some one to be with, but try to revel in the fact that you're with God. One day you're gonna walk into Heaven, and God's gonna be like "they're Mine." Be content with the Lord of all before you settle for one of His creations. He loves you like He does; He'll make sure that the one He made for you is worth the wait.
