Love and Gas Stations

Have you ever felt the need to be loved? Like all of a sudden you just want love from someone(or something). For me the other day, I had this feeling to be loved by a man. This isn't wrong, I am a woman after all and single at this moment. But I have made peace with this fact. I enjoy my singleness! So I was caught a little off guard the other day when this feeling of wanting to be love by a husband popped up, and was taking up too much of my thoughts. Again it isn't wrong, I am created for relationship,  however, this was taking up too much of my time. So I finally stopped everything and asked God what was up?! I had been careful not to let these feelings run my life. He then showed me a gas tank on a car and it all made since...

See, we are all created for love and God is the only one who can fill the need of true love. A lot of times though we look to other things or people for love. It may last for a moment but in the end it just leaves us unsatisfied. 

God, the giver of love, the ultimate picture of love, wants to fill us up, just like you would fill up your car with gas. Just like a car needs to return to the gas station regularly for a refill so do we. We need constant refills of His love. Actually we should never leave the filling station. We were made for love. But if we disconnect or fail to refuel, we will feel low, and try to fill ourselves up on our own. 

God told me just go to Jesus, and as soon as I acknowledged Him, He was there filling up my love tank. It was that easy. We make being loved by God so hard, when all we have to do is just let Him. 

Whether you are single, married, widowed etc, we all need the love of God. So don't beat yourself up because you have these feelings. Realize you were created for love and RUN to the one who can fill you up.  God is standing at the filling station, waiting to fill you up, looking off into the distance, ready to love you. Just say yes…

So here I am, still single and completely loved be my God. Do I still want a husband? Heck ya! But it does not control me, and those feelings don't have to control you either.
