"Blessings" by Laura Story

"What if my greatest disappointments or the aching of this life
is the reavealing of a greater thirst this world can't satisfy..."

That line in this song struck me. I identify with great disappointments and a deep "aching of this life." My disappointments have left me with an unbearable emptiness and an ache I cannot describe. Often, that is my focus; the hurt I feel. Instead of the One who can satisfy all that this life has not.

My hurts reveal the thirst I have for a perfect love, the perfect words, to be cherished and delighted in, to be fully known and fully accepted. Searching for those things in human relationships will ALWAYS leave you disappointed. But God is the one who can, will, and wants to satisfy my greatest need for love.
