Love Story
“Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends.” John 15:13
With all the love songs that have been penned and sung you'd think this would be a peace-filled, love-filled world. Songs speaking of undying, unending love. Songs saying, “I'll never hurt you, leave you, or disappoint you.” Songs making the promise of being trustworthy until the end of time. I've never known anyone who never hurt, lied, left, disappointed, or broke promises to someone they said they loved. Some don't care if they hurt others, some go out of their way to avoid hurting, but try as hard as we might we will eventually disappoint. We want life to be a fairy tale love story, but alas, it will never happen. There's no such thing as reality in fairy tales, that's why they're called fairy tales. The only love story we can bank on is the one God planned and penned for us. We are expending energies looking for “love” in all the wrong places and faces. We're attempting to fill voids only God can fill. We look to others to fulfill us, when only God can truly fulfill all our dreams, desires and destiny. “This is how much God loved the world: He gave His Son, His one and only Son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in Him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life. God didn’t go to all the trouble of sending His Son merely to point an accusing finger, telling the world how bad it was. He came to help, to put the world right again...” John 3:16-17.
God's great love story is waiting for you...no one loves you like God loves you...no one can fulfill you like God can...fairy tale love stories are fiction...God's love is real and eternal.
