What Are We Looking For?

We all have something in common we are all looking for something in our lives. It begins as infants where we want acceptance from our parents and siblings. We enter those school years and want to be accepted by classmates. It continues on from there.

For some they stop looking for what they want because they have found it or give up trying. The truth is even if we have found the right partner and family we continue to look for more. We are not satisfied with what we have.  In fact divorce happens in marriages because people haven’t found what they are searching for.

The answer to what we are looking for is in God. Majority of people don’t realize it so they keep trying to find God in relationships. Even those of us that have found God and in good relationship with him often keep on searching anyway. I am not sure why other than our natural way at looking at things we want even more when we find God. The likelihood is that we may not ever be satisfied or accept the fact we have indeed found God the true answer to our quest. The selfish part of us wants it all is my conclusion. We want family, friends and God. The thing is when we find God we do have it all except possibly one thing and that is loving ourselves. Yes that is the missing part. So if you are still searching for more and you have those three parts look toward loving yourself. When you do so everything will be complete. I know because I am still working on loving myself.
