"For love, we will climb mountains, cross seas, traverse desert sands, and endure untold hardships . . .

Without love, mountains become unclimbable, seas uncrossable, deserts unbearable, and hardships our lot in life." ― Gary Chapman, The Five Love Languages

I know Chapman is focusing on marriage, but I think this is true for us all, including those who are single – to find that the love of Christ (His for us and ours for Him) is just as real, even more so, than that found in marriage.

We were not designed to live alone but were made for relationship but I believe it must start with our relationship with our Father – and that this is all that is needed to find fulfillment in this life.  From that relationship we find the capacity to love others and to be loved by others.

I know of those who are married but are still alone because they have settled for less.

Our souls will always be restless (and unfulfilled) until we first find our rest in Him.
