So many of us spend so much of our lives looking for love. Even when we think we've found it here on this earth, we eventually still continue looking for it. High divorce rates can attest to that. What so many don't realize is... the love your soul is truly looking for will never be found on this earth.
At least not in the way we look for it.
I have a beautiful wife and two great kids. I have a family who loves me. I have friends who love me. I have people in my life who would give much in their love for me. If you have this, never take it for granted. It is a gift. But remember... all of it can be fleeting. People come and go. People move. People pass away. But there is one who will always remain.
I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8:38-39)
Pour your heart, your love, into people. Yes. We are called to do that. But never forget that there is one whose love has always been offered to you and while you draw breath will always be offered to you. And it's a love that you can never be separated from. His love finds you. Right where you are. No matter where you are.
Jesus tells the story of a lost sheep (Luke 15:3-7). When a sheep is lost, the shepherd does not give up on it. He goes after it. He searches. No matter what the journey takes. And when it is found he rejoices. We are that lost sheep. And God searches us out. His love finds us. Right where we are. No matter where we are.
God's love for you is vast. So vast he went on a journey of great cost to find you. He sent himself in his son Jesus to die for you. He went searching for you. No matter what the journey took.
His love is searching for you. Right where you are. No matter where you are.
worship him 24/7...

Love Has Found Us by Gateway
Where can we run?
Where can we hide?
Is there a place that we can go
Where you cannot find us?
You're there when we fall
There when we rise
Nothing is hidden from you face
You know every breath we take
Your love has found us
Your love has found us
We are yours forever
Your love has found us
It's all around us
Holding us together
Nothing on earth
Above or below
Nothing in all the universe
Can take us from your love
You came to us
Made us your own
You have redeemed us from the fall
You paid the ransom once for all
We will sing because your love has found us
Even in the darkest night
We sing because your love has set us free
Upbeat version below!
