We are not created out of a void. God is very intentional about what she creates. He wants us to know from our true core that we were developed out of love. How do we know this to be true? When all else is slipped away, love is what remains. It sounds like some cheesy love song, but if you were to get to the bottom of anyone’s reasoning for anything, it would be love. Granted we human beings do things that seem the farthest from love and the complete opposite of it. We are in search of what is within us and think it is outside of us. So we grasp at it any way we can. We lack connection so we gossip. We feel a lack of self-love and are insecure so we make fun of other’s insecurities. We deeply long to feel significant so we make ourselves stand out and knock over anyone who appears to deny us what we crave from in our souls. God is ready to walk us down a path to embrace those darker expressions that arise from a desire to be connected to the truth of who we are by going there. She is not interested in having us run from what is propelling our significance. He wants us to look it in the eye and discover that behind it lies a childlike striving with great imperfection to create what they somehow know to be true. God takes us back to our hearts and helps us cultivate a relationship with our significance in love.
My prayer for us is the courage to look at how significant we are in our picture of love in our lives and ask God to help us cultivate it in the most productive way today.
