No Denying

When I was younger, I needed a boyfriend. At least that’s what I thought. I really, really wanted a boyfriend. But there was no denying the need inside of me to be wanted, adored, thought of and cared for. That desire has not gone away. And it has never been satisfied in any real way.

I believe that God meets all those needs. I know God loves me and cares for me more than any man on this earth ever could. It still does not make the longing go away.

So how do I reconcile my need to have a significant other with my single status? I don’t. I just live with it. It is what it is. I don’t believe that I will always be in this place. It is a season and the longing will not magically disappear if I just don’t think about it.

I know that even when I do have a boyfriend or one day a husband, that there will still be this need to be wanted, adored, thought of and cared for. My significant other will not always satisfy that need all the time. So, I must be sure that my greatest need is God. He satisfies my every longing. God is my all in all. In Christ, I have purpose and belonging.
