but God, be my everything
& make this life meaning-full

Searching for Satisfaction
"I keep on chasing the wrong things
and coming up empty
this isnt who im suppose to be..."
-Mainstay: becoming who you are
My heart yearns for love & belonging. I search but after it all, i find myself more devoid, more empty. I keep believing that these things that are suppose to "satisfy" me will bring me joy. But it never does, and it never will. Yet it seems that we all keep searching, and we all just keep coming up more vacant than before. I look for love from the wrong guys, i look for belonging with the wrong friends, i seek joy from chilling in bed and watching t.v., i search for satisfaction in a job well done. But it's never enough! when will it end? when will we be satisfied? When will the yearrning and the hunger stop? All of these things, all of these people. Where do i turn to? Who do i turn to? I keep falling. I keep chasing the wrong things. But there is something that i have forgotten. Something that brought me true joy and happiiness before. We have heard it so many times, so we push it aside. But that's the beauty of it. When there is nothing and no one else to turn to, it finally clicks. Only God can satisfy this empty heart. Only his love never fails. Only his friendship never disappoints. I just want to say, to whoever feels hurt or empty, to whoever doesn't want to think about the pain and turns to temporary solutions, God is a God who heals & a God who's love truly satisfies. I admit that i sometimes forget. And that its hard trying to wake up early each morning to pray and read his word. But honestly, this relationship is the best thing that has ever happened to me. And all it takes is one day without him, to feel so far. Life without God, really sucks. Its like one punch in that face after another. But with him, even during those difficult times, he gives us strength to face the day. Only his love satisfies and gives us the strength we desperately need. This is a truth that i am trying to hold on to. It is a truth that i must keep reminding myself, because each time i fall from him it hurts, but he will always bring me back.
God, i'm sorry for falling from you
& for forgetting who you are
Please be my everything
because your love is the best by far <3
Psalm 63: 1-3
O God, you are my God,
earnestly i seek you;
my soul thirsts for you,
my body longs for you,
in a dry and weary land
where there is no water.
I have seen you in the sanctuary
and beheld your power and glory.
Because your love is better than life,
my lips will glorify you.
and coming up empty
this isnt who im suppose to be..."
