To the one who feels they can't be loved:

First of all, I'm sorry. I do not know what hurt you. I do not know who made you feel this way. There may be no words to describe your situation or your pain other than the fact that you long to feel true love. Love that satisfies your deepest needs for community, identity, and purpose.

The world tried to offer us things that will provide temporary fulfillment that only to leads to a deeper sorrow because there is no true satisfaction. The world's version of love leaves us feeling empty, alone, and not knowing how to move on.

But let me tell you, there is something greater. There is a love that inestimable, ineffable, indescribable. There is a scandalous love that goes beyond all we can imagine. This love sees past your outside appearance and longs to fulfill the deepest, most intimate part of your soul. This love's name is Jesus. He will never fail you. He is always there for you. His love is not conditional. No matter what you have done, or what you will do, He will always love you. He satisfies your longing like nothing else can. In His love, there is joy and peace.

Where you feel empty, He bring wholeness. Where you feel weak, He is your strength. When you do not know what to do, trust in His sovereign will and the fact that he is working everything for your good. Where you feel alone, He is always there to comfort and lift you up. We can know there is a greater love by what happened on the cross.

1 John 3:1 How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!

Choose love.
