Do you know Him?

Nothing can satisfy me completely like you.

You complete me.

You fill the hole in my heart.

I would be lost without you.

I feel empty without you.

I need you.

When I hear these words being said between couples it makes me uncomfortable. I guess its because I know that a single human being cannot satisfy and fill the needs of someone completely to the point where they need that other person to keep going.

Its because I know that there is someone out there that can satisfy me completely. There is someone that loves me so perfectly that I dont need anything else. And He is the only one who deserves those words.

All girls dream of a love story- they dream of someone who will know her so intimately that he would die for her. That he would love her smile, her laugh and everything about her. He would want to talk to her just so he could hear her voice. He would wipe away her tears and let her know that she was safe in his arms.

They search for him..go to great lengths..and maybe never find him.

I know Him-I talk to Him everyday. He knows everything about me. He is familiar with all my ways. He meets all my needs and satisfys all the desires of my heart. He is not distant and angry but a complete expression of love and it is His desire to lavish that love upon me. He loves me with an everlasting love- one that is unfading, unchanging, unfailing and unconditional. His thoughts toward me are as countless as the sand on the seashore. He sings over me in joy and will never stop doing good to me. I am His treasured posession and He shows me great and marvelous things. He keeps track of all my sorrows and collects all my tears in a bottle. He can do more for me than I can possibly imagine. He encourages me when I am discouraged, He gives me hope when the future seems so hopeless, He comforts me in all my troubles. When I am brokenhearted He is near, when I am angry He is near, when I am full of joy He is near, when I am suffering He is near- in fact He never leaves me. He gave up everything he owned to try to gain my love.

When I was 12 I watched a movie called Whispers. It was about an elephant who got abandoned at birth and then was adopted my another elephant who didnt really want him. She grew to love him and care for him. At the end she sacrificed her life so he would live. I remember sitting in front of the tv with tears running down my face. That was the first movie I ever cried in. In the movies the Coast Guard and Ladder 49 I also cried my eyes out.. why? because both men sacrificed their life for someone else. Isnt that the greatest form of love? Sacrificing your life for someone?

He did that. He sacrificed his life for me and for you..

You fully deserved to die but He loved you so much he died for you.

I know I will never be able to fully comprehend how much he loves me.

Do you know Him? He wants to know you.

He is the ONLY one who satisfys me completely.

He completes me.

He fills the hole in my heart.

I would be lost without him.

I feel empty without him.

All I need is him.

While I long for the man set apart for me..and its so hard to be patient sometimes.. I will wait.

Because I know that He will be the ONLY one who will ever satisfy me completely, wholly, and fully. He will be the only one I will ever need.

Always.
