Only God

An excerpt from a devotion by Gini Andrews found in the Women's Devotional Bible (pg. 1109):

"But even the most congenial marriage, the closest friendship, the most satisfying child-parent relationship is both transient and unpredicatble. Although some 1,500 years have passed since St. Augustine remarked that our hearts will never be at rest away from the One who made them, it's still true.

Just because he has created us as unique individuals, our Father knows the best way to fill each one's empty places. It is only God who can fill our deepest longings, who never has an appointment elsewhere, who never replaces us with someone he likes better, who promises never to leave us totally alone. He is the only one who wants to be and always can be the unfailing companion on our journey."

Thank you, God.
