Experiencing True Love: The Void That No Man Can Fill

by Mayowa Adeniyi
experience true loveThere’s a longing to feel loved in all living creatures, especially those that have instinct. Your pet dog knows when you’re kind to it and it understands same when you’re being harsh. Everybody in life are looking for true love at one point of their life. Women desire to feel loved and acceptance, men too needs same from the woman they loved. How then can we find true love?

Your wrong experience about love isn’t that love is bad or evil, it only implies that you have found love in a wrong place. You can’t enjoy the rights of a citizen in another man’s country if you don’t have your papers complete. The same is true about love.

Your parent can express love to you in their own little capacity, likewise your spouse but true love is more than that. True love is beyond earthly love and there’s only one place you can find it. Here are the wrong places where people thinks love and acceptance is.

1. In a dating relationship
Your boyfriend or girlfriend cannot make you feel true love because they themselves do not know what love is. Rather than experiencing love, you’ll find lust and immoralities which would ruin your life. It’s not the number of dates you have, it’s not the best date you have that would give you true love, it’s a function of knowing the right place to get love. A man or woman that doesn’t understand what true love is cannot express it to you because you can’t give what you don’t have.

2. By abusing substance
Some people feel if they resort to the use of hard drugs such as cocaine, narcotics, Indian hemp, Marijuana, heroine and the likes; it would make them feel loved and acceptance.

It’s wrong! It’s a lie from the pit of hell that’s circulating in the society. Drug abuse can’t give you the satisfaction you want in life except you know the best place to find love and acceptance.

3. Living a promiscuous life
Many ladies felt it’s the number of boyfriends or sugar daddies they have that would give them the joy they want in life.
So also the men believe keeping sugar mummies and girlfriends would fill the void in their soul. Never!

Living a promiscuous life can only give you what you want and not what you need. What you really need is true love and it’s found in a place many of you neglect. And where is love found?

Love is found in no other place than in the presence of God. The Holy Bible says, in the presence of God, there’s fullness of joy. Man lost this fullness of joy in the Garden of Eden when he disobeyed God. And everyone is on a pursuit of true love to fill the vacuum in their soul.

Until you go back to His presence, your marriage, career, children, business or earthly success cannot fill the vacuum in you.
There’s no other love you can have other than that which a man laid down his life for you. God is love and love is God. Until you go back to His presence you can’t experience and express what love is.
Your boyfriend or girlfriend that doesn’t know God would think premarital or extramarital sex is the best way to express love.
He or she would even think sexual immoralities such as kissing, petting, caressing and the likes are the best way to express love. No! A man or woman that does not love God cannot love you!

Go back to God. Until you give Him your heart, soul, strength and might; you will never be able to experience true love. When you give Him your all, you’d be able to experience and express it and you will know who deserve your heart and life. Do you have a vacuum in your soul to feel true love? Come to God through Jesus. He’s ready to accept you. All you need to do is to repent from your sins, turn to Him.

He’s patiently waiting at the door of your heart (Rev. 3:20). Remember, it’s only in Jesus that you can fill the thirst of your soul for true love, no other person or people can! Give Him a try today and you’ll never regret you did!
