"I
turned around and so many guys and girls were making out with each other, it
was awesome. I was SO. HAPPY." - Heard recently while walking to a study
room in my building. (Literally, I heard this as I was about to open the door
to the room where I am writing this blog #notacoincidence) What's wrong with our society, one might ask?
The notion that spontaneous manifestations of lust are equivalent to
substantial love. I cannot presently recall a moment where I've heard a similar
statement, but I honestly see similar sentiments in everyday life, especially
on a college campus.
I just got
back from a Reality LA service that discussed the empty promises of sexual
relationships outside of biblical marriage, and it's perfect timing. It's
February, Valentine's month, as well as a painstakingly clear Singleness
Awareness Season. The rise of relationships, "it's complicated" friendships
and random hookups seem to spark around
this time, as we are all reminded of the human need for love and interpersonal
intimacy. But as soon as the clock strikes midnight and it becomes February
15th in a few days, it's so easy to hide the broken vulnerability displayed all
around us and nurse wounded hearts in secret, ashamed silence.
Fortunately
I---we--are not left without God's comfort and truth when faced with problems
of a desire for love. The Bible says
"Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your
heart." (Psalm 37:4) A note about this passage that I look forward to
is the fact that when you delight yourself in the Lord, HE becomes the desire
of your heart, and there's no shortage of Him giving you Himself.
I've also encountered beautiful,
Godly relationships that were so...refreshing to see. I felt the Spirit telling me that that kind of
love is in store for those who wait upon the Lord. Who wait with a purpose--and
our purpose is forever to use what He's given us to glorify Him, and spread the
eternal love. This might have been one of the first times I didn't feel jealous
or ask God "Where is MINE?" Seeing two people who God directed to be
together in His own timing, and seeing how beautiful it is--all I could do was
thank God for their relationship and pray that they would stay strong and be
lights of truth in our dark and fallen world.
Even now,
I'm feeling my heart's longing to be in His presence, so I have to end this
post on this note: God sees what we want, and He knows what we need, and He
knows how to illustrate your life in such a way that when these two things are
presented to you in a Godly package, it's ever the more beautiful.
"But seek ye first the
kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto
you." -Matthew 6:33
You will seek me and find me when you
seek me with all your heart. Jeremiah 29:13
“You have
said, ‘Seek my face.’ My heart says to you, ‘Your face, LORD, do I seek.’” Psalm 27:8
