Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;
I have called you by name:
You are mine.
You are precious in my eyes
And honored, and I love you.

☄I want to be happy.
Don't you? I want to loved unconditionally and I want all the desires of my heart to be satisfied. Sometimes I trick myself into thinking, if just this one thing happens I'll be happy. If I win a state championship, I'll be happy. If he asks me on a date, I'll be happy. If my dad buys me this house, I'll be happy. Then the thing that I think will make me happy happens. It makes me happy, but then the happiness dies down sooner or later. Then, I want more. It may seem that I will NEVER be satisfied because I am such a greedy person but that's not the case at all. We were created with desire for a reason. God placed this deep longing, yearning, aching for more in us on purpose. The problem is, we long for the infinite. Yet, the only thing here on the earth are finite things. So duh, if we try to fill an infinite longing with finite things, we will never be satisfied. The good news is, there is an offer on the table. The offer is hope. Hope in Heaven. Hope in the infinite God who will one day fill our infinite desires with His infinite love. With infinite union with Him. So I don't know about you but I would rather not accept defeat that these painfully aching desires inside my soul are for no reason. I choose to believe that this desire for more was placed on my heart for a reason. I choose to have faith that one day my aching heart will be filled with more love, peace, and joy than I could ever imagine.
