The Deepest Cry of the Human Heart

In our world today, there are so many people crying for love. So many human hearts are saying, "Somebody, somewhere, love me." For many who believe in God, there is still that awful vacuum. It's possible to believe in God, to do God's things, and to still miss the deep experience of His love. Without that love, the emptiness and loneliness in your heart is never satisfied - no matter how many human love relationships you experience.

While you are probably nowhere close to being an atheist, it could be that you've invested a lot in good things that could easily become other gods - your career, your children, your projects, your friends, your charity work, even your spiritual pursuits. The deep, aching sense of aloneness seldom seems to go away. Every earth-love has ultimately either failed you or failed to satisfy you. After all these years, your heart is still whispering, or maybe even shouting, "Somebody, somewhere, love me!"

The Word of God describes the only love that can ever truly answer this deepest cry of the human heart. It's found in Romans 8:38-39, "Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." There it is - unloseable love, unconditional love, unmeasurable love.

God wants you to experience that love more than you can imagine, so much that He sacrificed the One He loves the most for you - His one and only Son, Jesus. The reason we are missing that love is because we've pushed God out of our lives with our sin. We've lived our way instead of God's way, over and over again. That has left us separated from God and from His love with a death penalty on our heads, but God lavished His love on you by sending Jesus to die in your place.

You will miss this love your heart wants so much until you respond to it by placing all your trust in Jesus Christ to remove the sin-barrier and give you eternal life. You are that close to finally making ultimate love your own. If you want to begin this personal love relationship with Jesus Christ, tell Him that right where you are.

Jesus is the "Somebody, somewhere" that your heart has been lonely for, and you don't have to live one more day without His love.
