You know the scene at the end of the chick flick, when the two lovers finally find one another. It seems like it always happens in slow motion as they run toward one another through a field of flowers. There is something powerful in that motif of mutual yearning finally fulfilled.
There’s a mutual yearning between us humans and the God Who created us. We reach up; He has reached down. Look at these two verses, one from the Old Testament and one from the New:
“One thing I ask of the Lord, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, …” (Psalm 27:4a)
“Jesus replied, “If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.” (John 14:23)
We long to live with God; He comes to us and offers to make His home with us. That’s the offer – our deepest mutual yearning perfectly fulfilled. What’s that part about “obey my teaching”? It begins with the simple act of trust, with saying yes to Jesus and accepting the offer.
They may not film it in slo-mo. It might not be in flowers. But it’s yours if you accept it.
FRESH BREAD OF LIFE 
This is so true. I don’t understand how anyone would want to face life alone, without the comfort and promises of God, left to our own best efforts to handle all life throws at us. We need Him so much!
