Our Thirst for Love

ourthirstforlove

It is not the one who thirsts for love that lacks love, but the one who cannot even look, who does not really care to be found. – Jocelyn Soriano

Broken hearts, hearts that grieve, hearts overcome with painful and unfulfilled longing. These may yet be nearer to love, these may yet possess it! They are not the ones who truly lose what’s precious. For even in their pain, love lingers. Is love not the true reason behind each tear? Is love not the reason for the wounds of the heart?

Let those who thirst for love know that love has found them even before they began to thirst for love. Love itself has carved out that space, which only love can fill.

I will get up now, and go about the city; in the streets and in the squares I will seek him whom my soul loves. – Song of Solomon 3:2, WEB

Afterwards, Jesus… said: I thirst. – John 19:28, DRA
