Others can tell you how fortunate and loved you are by people around you
Yet sometimes even when days have gone great, the devil has his way of making you feel completely unloved & unlovable at night. So that you lose faith & hope in your loved ones, yourself, and in Him. This makes the devil happy.
Sometimes you know that nobody is perfect- they can only love you with the imperfect love they have, so you shouldn't expect anything; you should be contented with the love you already receive from everyone. Yet irrationally you still hope and expect from these people. And hope is a dangerous thing because the devil hates hope like darkness hates light. He will go all out to squash whatever hope you have in whoever. This leaves you disappointed especially when imperfect humans eventually fail to meet your hopes.
This hole inside us can never be perfectly filled up by any human or thing- we will always be desiring more of things, more from people which/who can never truly satisfy and fill up that hole in us. My hope and expectations should only be in and for the one who Himself is Love. Only He is capable of filling up this hole so perfectly, that even when the devil tries, I won't be disappointed.
Tonight I pray for Him to fill my society with more love, and to let those who experience His love so real and perfect know that it is and has to be Him.
More importantly, I pray that He will fill me up with more of His love, so that I will have more courage, strength and self-confidence, to continue loving myself and loving others, with His love.
“Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.” 1 John 4:8
“And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.” 1 John 4:16
