The reason we thirst after lesser loves is because of the broken world we live in. Photo Credit: ©Getty Images/Jantanee Rungpranomkorn Let’s first take a look at the biblical context around where this longing comes from and why it exists. We need to learn how to make God our only source to fulfill our longing above all lesser loves. A resource we can turn to, but not the source we trust in. ![]() But that’s just it: they are meant to be simply resources, but not our source. Enjoying things that God created as gifts and resources to us. There is nothing wrong with enjoying things of this world. Think about this: if lesser loves never disappointed us, then we would have no need for God – our One True Love. The truth is all other loves in this world in comparison to our One True Love, our Savior, were never meant to fulfill us here on this side of eternity. Sometimes they satisfy us for long seasons of our life, but more often times than not, the satisfaction lasts but for a mere moment. But in reality, these lesser loves leave us still thirsty for more. We thirst so desperately to fill this void, that most of us tend to chase lesser loves of this world that we hope will quench our thirst for wholeness. We strive to fill our emptiness as we feel like there is a missing piece inside of us.
