We can't fulfill anyone's deepest need. This is a hard thing to grasp, but once I do it does provide since of freedom. Knowing I cannot be enough for someone, and they cannot be completely enough for me. I wonder what would happen if people stopped demanding what others cannot give them. We either freely give it or not at all. Then when we do give, it looks differently knowing i'm only giving what God has given to me. I have this picture in my mind of what that looks like. What love looks like. The best I can do right now is offer up my love to him, my need for him.
When I break apart, I can break apart but at the same time never losing confidence in him and what he will do. Nothing comforts me more knowing I can just rest and need him.
I found a way to appease him, inside this alabaster jar-JMM
