Thirsty

God invites us to risk trusting him and enter into redemptive friendships with others -- to open ourselves up to the possibility of being hurt as well as to the possibility of tasting the sweet fruit of companionship. Yet, no matter how wonderful a taste of relationship fullness you have, you will want more. If you had an amazing connection yesterday with someone, when you wake up this morning, you will want it again. Eve posses a bottomless well of longing. Jesus alone is the never-ending fount, which can slake her thirst. No other source, no other relationship will full satisfy. God made her that way. On purpose. Page 183, Captivating

This book amazes me. People who can reshape a known truth to fit my emotions today amaze me. God is starting to make sense to me though. All the disappointment I've experienced in relationships reflect the lack of trust I've put in him. They reflect how much searching I've done when Yahweh was really the only answer. And deep down, I've always known that. I still know that, but, being the stupid sheep that I am, I'll continue to seek earthly approval, earthly friendships to fill a void that on HE fills. I guess as I get better at grasping that idea, the idea that I'm not good at this, the more HE does fill me -- the more HE offers me. I'm excited for the new friendships that have sprung up in my life. Amazed at God's hand in it. And thrilled that I get to be a part of HIS adventure.
