I have been searching in the wrong places

We come across people who are so rich and wealthy but still they feel empty and feel they are still in need of something. You see even people who have married the woman of their dreams and have happy families yet still missing something. Everyone struggling to satisfy an inner craving and the desire to satisfy a missing entity that you cannot identify. Many don't even know what it is and others have identified what it is but still another issue is knowing where to find it.

The truth is that all with no exceptions need love and everyone is on the search for true love. Love, that feeling of being valuable,cared for, receiving attention etc. Everybody wants to love and be loved; that is just it. It is rather unfortunate that many who have embarked on the journey of finding true love have always ended up being hurt in the end. They go searching in the wrong places and have all tasted of a different kind of love than what they were searching for. The kind that does not sacrifices, deceptive, selfish, self-centered and conditional is what many have encountered.

The question at times is: Where do i find true love?
Truth be told, true and unconditional love has always been right there infront of you and you never really had time to look at it standing right there. You chose to look elsewhere and so encountered the wrong one.
In the books of books, it is written

God is love

Many have been searching for true and unconditional love and yet the only one person whose being is love and who can give you what you are craving for has been inviting you to come to him but you have said no so many times. We rejected love by rejecting God and yet are in search for love.
What do you expect to find when you have rejected true love and are in search of love? You will obviously find false love of course and just when everything seems ok and perfect, your world will come crushing down within the twinkle of an eye.

God is what you need and he has demonstrated his unconditional love for us by sending his son to die on the cross for you and i when we were yet sinners and not deserving of his love. He has offered us unmerited love for free and is inviting you to come enjoy of it. What is holding you back?
When are you going to realize the one thing you have been hurt so much about has been right infront of you?

I see so many people desperate to be loved, some feel or think that no one cares or loves them, some say love does not exist. All these and many more are but a categories of people that have not experienced love because they have not met God. When are you going to realize that you have been looking in the wrong places?
The earlier you get it, the better for you i must say. It is so sad to see people killing themselves over people who don't care about them or love them.
Isn't it sad that some people still are on the search for that one who can die for them when someone has already done that for you and you reject him everyday? Very sad but that is what we are doing and keep doing to Jesus. He died for you and yet you reject his love which is unconditional only to fall prey to deception.

Wake up and realize you have been looking in the wrong places
