What does man desire most in life? The Bible confirms in Proverbs 19:22a “What a man desires is unfailing love...”

Deep inside, all of us desire someone who will love us and never fail us. Some search for this in another person and soon realize all people, even the ones who love us dearly, will eventually let us down, misunderstand us, or fail to love us the way we need to be loved.

Consequently, many of us begin to depend on ourselves - reasoning that we must trust ourselves since no one else can be completely trusted. But if we are honest, we often let ourselves down.

But whether depending on another person or depending on ourselves, we find neither can save us, neither can make us whole, and neither can promise us tomorrow.

Our Precious God is the only One Who can give us unfailing love! The Holy Spirit, our Counselor, is the Only One Who will always understand. Jesus Christ, our Savior, is the Only One Who can save us and make us whole. God, our Heavenly Father, is the Only One Who can promise us tomorrow! God not only created all our tomorrows, but our eternal life with Him!

So why would God put a desire in our hearts for an unfailing love that can only be fulfilled by Him? Because somewhere in the process of feeling abandoned, misunderstood, hurt by others, lost, confused, and disappointed in ourselves we have the opportunity to recognize our great need for God.

As our hearts yearn for unfailing love might we hope in God.

“(God’s) eyes are on those whose hope is in His unfailing love.” Psalm 33:18
