Never Find a Love Like This

I feel blessed to have realized this truth by twenty-three years of age. I know that some people search their whole lives to discover that there is no love out there quite as satisfying as God's. Sadly, some never do. One of the most awesome realizations of my young life has been that no matter how long or hard or far I search, nothing will complete me like Him. No, I didn't have to go search through everything out there to find that out, but I have gone through pain, struggles, and times when I thought it just couldn't get any tougher. Always, always when I thought I couldn't take another step, that is when God has met me and proven that yes, His love for me extends even this far. Though the toughest of times aren't enjoyable, they do bring me a kind of joy I don't even have words to describe. (And for those who know how much I can talk, that's saying something :) Because reaching low points means that I get a chance to see how big God really is - I get an opportunity to feel just how strong a hold He has on my life, and how secure I've really been all along. Then I am filled with such peace. And a confidence that defies logic and reason - confidence that no matter where I go or how low my life seems to sink, that it's never too much for Him. And that is when I know the truth: No matter where my life takes me, I will never find a love like this.
