Desired Love

It is the longing of every heart to be loved, a deep rich thirst quenching love. A love of selfish desire of satisfying depths. A love that goes far beyond outward appearance and inward dysfunctions. A love that listens with admiration and desire. A love with passion and greatness in its ambitions. How can this love be found? Every man, woman and child cries out in their search for the elusive love that for brief moments makes it's human presence known. The longing and pain for lack of this love pushes us to pursue the fleeting glimpses and settle for the moments, precious as they are, yet without lasting fulfillment. Jesus says He is a living water always fresh and satisfying. His love is everlasting without confines or restrictions His love is beyond measure or depth. God says this love can only be found in Him...John 3:16.

First click on the link in the title page and listen to an amazing diamond in the rough. Then come back to read the blog. I know we have heard several people like Paul Potts lately who have incredible voices however have been judged by what is seen on the outside. I tell the ladies I mentor that the real person is the one on the inside when they close the door of their home to outsiders. When we hear these talents we are thrilled with their abilities and quite amazed and yet perplexed because we find ourselves asking the question, "where have you been all your life?" It seems some of these hidden talents tend to be older, yet I admit some have been younger, but it is the older ones we marvel most about. Because news spreads fast, venues like youtube and others quickly alert us when these talents are discovered. Yet on the outside and until they open their mouth, judgement is still persistent. Even after the talent is exposed a makeover becomes one of the first priorities, oh not necessarily by the talent themselves but by the important people looking on. Why is that? Actually truth be known it helps to remove the judgement about the person. In real estate the first impression known as 'curb appeal' sells the house. Anyway, much like these new found talents God is looking for the person on the inside. He isn't much concerned with what you look like on the outside. Are you a diamond in the rough waiting for your talent to be exposed? Perhaps you say "I can't sing!" Well neither can I. In fact I am accused of being tone deaf, but that is another story. Or you might have said, "I do not have a talent." Ouch! Ask God to show you His talent that He created you to share with the world. It is there. Don't judge yourself by the outward appearance. Ask God to help you look deep inside. What is your passion? The talent is probably submerged there. The world needs the diamond you might have had hidden all these years. Take a deep breath and step on stage.....
