Love and Wonder

The longer I am on this journey called life, the clearer it gets to understand that the only thing every human being wants is to be loved. It is an innate desire, meaning a desire from birth. Love is etched into the very essence of our being.

Is your heart crying out to experience love and wonder? No matter where you are in life, it is available for you. Having talked with many women both married and single, I have found they have this in common; they both can experience loneliness, and both want to be loved. You caught that correctly! Even married people can experience loneliness and have a deep desire to be loved and seen. The reason? There is only one love available which can reach the depths of your soul quenching the desperate cry for love. No human on this earth can fulfill those desolate places with the liquid love it yearns for. No amount of chocolates, flowers, dates, money or yes you guessed it, sex can fulfill this unique longing of love.

“Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a desire fulfilled is a tree of life.” Proverbs 13:12

Many years ago, I read this verse and when I read it, the revelation came to me. The hope in this verse is the hope of love, true love. Once that desire is fulfilled, our heart grows as the tree of life, full of the fruit we want to taste, joy, peace, faithfulness, and genuine gratitude. This love never fails. It is constant throughout all circumstances; it brings dead things back to life; It is perfect love full of wonder! 

When I say nothing else will satisfy except for this love, I mean it. Nothing. This love full of faith, expectancy and wonder will keep you going in times you have felt alone. This love will empower you to take another step when you feel weary. This love knows you intimately in ways you have never even imagined being known. It will envelop you covering you everywhere you go. 

This love is also the only love that can change your life for the better! “It is so powerful and is the only thing that can mend a heart. It breaks bondages, breaks strongholds, breaks chains, and even casts out all fear.” (Loved by Love: How Love Restores a Heart) This love will breakthrough for you! It knows no bounds and will do whatever it takes to bring that desire to fulfillment. 

When your heart needs mending, this love is the perfect bond to put it back together. 

When you are looking for security in money, jobs or titles, this love is waiting for you to stand on. 

When you are in urgent need of joy, this love is ready to dance with you. 

When you are praying for peace, this love is a firm foundation to rest on. There is no need to strive for this love. It is yours, if you choose to let it overtake you. 

This love will go above and beyond for you; When you feel hopeless and dead inside, it’s care for you revives the dead places which crave to be known and seen. 

Feel its embrace, stay, don’t fight it and don’t resist it. 

It is the love of the Father, the Love of the King of Kings that can change you and your situations igniting you with life again. 

May you let it truly fulfill the desire in your heart, because I tell you this, no more is hope deferred! No more will this love delay, it is here now! It is for you not against you! It will breakthrough any shame trying to keep it away. How do I know? I know because YOU ARE WORTHY OF THIS LOVE!  is the time to declare: No more hope deferred! No more looking to the world for what only God can satisfy. No more delaying the love that is already yours. Jesus is here. His love is available.
