Nobody but God
Can complete you.
Nobody but God can provide true fulfillment.
Nobody but God can offer true wholeness.
Nobody but God can give true (lasting) joy, true (all-encompassing) peace, true (fulfilling) love.
Nobody but God can truly minister to your deepest pain, deepest sorrow, deepest grief and guilt and despair.
Others can certainly help. They may be used by Him to help.
But they can't go all the way. They can't completely fix things.
Nobody but God can do that.
In honesty-- at this point in my life I often find myself longing for a boyfriend. I find myself--might I remind myself, mistakenly--thinking that a boyfriend would make me feel complete, truly loved, satisfied, whole, content.
But that's not true.
Nobody but God can do that. Nobody but God can truly give me those things.
If I expect to be complete and fulfilled by the presence of a boyfriend, I'd only be crushed and further dismayed on finding that he can't do that. He's not capable. No human being is capable of fully completing me, fulfilling me, making me feel truly, wholly at peace.
Nobody but God.
No matter how I think or feel, the truth of the matter is that nobody (but God) can fully satisfy me. Nobody but God can give me true fulfillment. Nobody but God can provide true contentment.
That's (more than) cause enough to turn to Him for true fulfillment, wholeness, joy, peace, and love.
He is complete.
He is not lacking.
He is perfect.
He is the true Source of true joy, peace, and love.
Turn to The Complete and what do you receive? Completeness.
Turn to the incomplete and what do you receive?... Exactly.
Turn to God.
You belong to Him.
He alone can satisfy. 💚✝️
