Excerpt from my upcoming book: Holy Love: A Memoir of Sorrow to Glory.
Jesus’ love for us is like a hot ember planted within our hearts at conception. I tucked mine away for “safekeeping” for most of my life. Looking back, I wonder if my gnawing discontent was due to a yearning for something I couldn’t have.
Was it that innocent, childlike joy, and sweet contentment that is the seed of love for a family, or was it actually the love of Jesus that I tucked away and longed for?
Maybe God designed children’s innocence for the purpose of knowing Him in all His purity and holiness. His touch on our souls and inside His Holy DNA are the secrets to an eternal craving.
It’s a yearning that only He can satisfy.
