Relationship
I know what the people want, because it is what we all want when we are
suffering the most. We in the West have our hearts and senses
temporarily dulled by our comforts and entertainment, and we don't
realize how much we need companionship with our God. We don't understand
where our deepest joy originates. But when we come to the end of
ourselves, when our sins and past mistakes overtake us and overwhelm us
with grief, when there is nothing more we can do to keep our hearts
alive, we realize how much we need the intimate love of our God. We need
to be lost in His heart, captivated by the One who will never leave us.
We need His company, His comfort, His delights. We need to know Him,
understand His feelings, comprehend how to relate to Him. Our
relationship with Him is our life, our only life that survives. We love
much because we have been forgiven much. We utterly, desperately need
our Savior's love, a love that makes all things new, that redeems
everything in our hearts, that lights us on fire with everlasting
romance.
