Inexpressible Desires

"Before you came into my life I missed you so bad, I missed you so bad, I missed you so so bad."
                                                                 - Call Me Maybe, Carly Rae Jepson

I actually can't stand this song but I heard it while I was at work tonight and it got me thinking... The truth in this lyric surprises me. It still amazes me at how we as humans long for things that we have never known. Like those stories of people who have never even heard of Jesus and with one tiny encounter they fall in love so hard and so fast with Jesus. Just because he is what they always longed for. My inexpressible longings can only be fulfilled  by the inexpressible itself.

"If I discover within myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world."        -C.S. Lewis

I am so glad that Jesus filled the gap between God and I so that I could have my inexpressible needs met. Without God I would probably go crazy. There are so many things that I need that I cannot get from anyone else but God. I try to get my emotional needs met by other people and no matter how these people make me feel like I belong and am cared about, they still fall short. I fall short of meeting my needs, you fall short, we all fall short of meeting our needs. Everyone except for Jesus. Jesus knows how to satisfy me. He rescues me and then fulfills my wildest dreams. He gives me something that I can get nowhere else in this universe. That something is himself. Jesus is the answer to all my inexpressible desires.
