Longing for love

Why is it that we long for love so badly? What is so special about love?
As a part of the female species I know that girls long for love, especially from boys. They make you feel special, they make you bubble in your stomach, they are the best friends you can have. But what kind of love are we experiencing? Is it a temporary or an eternal love?

I know that I can get caught up in the niceness of liking or loving someone but when trial and tribulations occur will you still love him/her. Would you still love him/her if that person betrayed you? Would you still love him if he cheated? if she cheated?

That's the kind of love that we don't really understand. We love...until something bad or unpleasant happens. But I was introduced to an eternal love. Imagine someone that loves you FOREVER, no matter what. This person will treat you special, will make you stomach tingle, will kiss your face, will hold your hand, will hug you tenderly, even when you cheat on this person, even if you leave this person. This person would die for you.

But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8 

Nothing can separate us from God's love. 

I experienced God's love and nothing compares to it. Its a love that lifts you up higher, its a love that fills your heart and makes it overflow. 
I pray that you may experience this type of love, and may reflect it in your own relationships with others. Love, like Christ did. 

Lately

Lately I have been having a hard time balancing everything.
I'm trying to improve my health by sleeping more, I have been working a lot to pay off my school bill, I have been studying a lot to make sure I keep my grades going well, and I have been spending time with God so that I can maintain that relationship with Him.
I have been so worried about neglecting all these things because of lack of time but I forgot one thing, God. He gives me rest when I am burdened..such a simple and honest message. He is the only one that doesn't yell at me when I don't spend enough time with Him, He is the only one that doesn't make me feel bad by giving me a bad grade if I don't give my best. He is the only one that gives me REST when I come to work with Him.
He is the opposite of everything that gives me stress. I love how He just sings to me "come to me you weary Valerie, and I will give you rest, for my yoke is easy, and my burden is light"
Matthew 11:28
Pray for me brothers and sisters, NOT to take spending time with God as another burden to my list, but as my time to unload and rest in Christ the burden bearer.
