Give Me Love

 "In the end we are all just humans, drunk on the idea that love, only love, could heal our brokenness." 

~Christopher Piondexter  

Like with every instrument, there's always that one song that you aspire to play that gets you through all the frustrating fazes of learning an instrument. For me this song was Give Me Love by Ed Sheeran.

 I love this song despite the fact that it doesn't fall under my usual preferred genera. I think the lyrics are beautiful. There is so much pain in this song. It is the pain that is the human desperation for love left unfulfilled.

The story of our lives are all outlived by tragedy.

But there's something even more tragic that happens when we break. It is not our brokenness that becomes our tragedy. 

Our tragedy is that we believe that we need others to become anew. We are convinced that love and love alone will be enough to fill the cracks in our little glass hearts. And so we dismiss every other possible fulfillment. 

When we no longer feel whole we seek for others to fulfill us. We ask for love like never before because we are so utterly desperate for it. 

But even those who love us most will always come short. Even those who we trust with the most vulnerable pieces of ourselves will not treasure us like they are meant to. 

So I look to God to Give Me Love.

His love alone is enough to fulfill me. 

I challenge you to stop counting on broken people to heal your own brokenness. Stop counting on others who are hurting to heal your own wounds. 

After all, who could be more suited to mend your broken heart than he who created it.
