Time and time again I find myself looking for purpose, fulfillment, and worth in things, people and actions in and of this world. As I jump into something that I think will give me purpose I will without a doubt be disappointed by the outcome of this situation. Anything that I think may give me meaning that is of this world is going to leave me empty time and time again.
I think this hold true with a lot of people. We search the world for meaning, for acceptance, for our place, and for peace, but in the end we come out empty handed because the one thing that we need is not going to be found in this world. I got a great reminder this morning of God's amazing love for us. There are times when I let it slip my mind that I am loved by a God that is greater than anything that we can fathom or anything that we can find in this world.
I find myself wrapped up in people pleasing and trying to get other people to love me or to understand me, but the truth of the matter is that I am already loved by such an amazing God that there is no need to seek approval by other people. God has stolen my heart, and I think that sometimes I forget how great of a gift that actually is. His love covered every sin, His blood set me free. That realization is one that makes even what seems like the biggest tragedy in the world, seem small and irrelevant. God's love is not dependent upon my actions, my love, or my talent. God's love is unfailing, unending, and greater than any other love. That is one thing I never want to forget.
