"You have made us for Yourself, O Lord, and our hearts are restless until they rest in You."
Augustine of Hippo
"All humanity will come to You."
Psalm 65:2 (CSB)
His love draws us all home to Him. We were made for Him and something inside us is always longing for God, longing for His love, longing for our true home in Him. No matter what, that desire and longing is within us, because God put it there when He made us. The child naturally longs for the parent, longs for relationship, longs for love. Nothing else but Him will satisfy us, His children. The Bible says people are God's offspring, so we are literally His kin. We belong with Him. Humankind is also the Godkind. We are ever drawn back to the source from which we came, our true origin, our true Father, God Himself. And so we come to Him, eventually, whether down the short road or the long road home. But He is making sure that we all arrive safely, that we all make it back home, that we all end up in His loving arms. In His mind, we never left. He has always been holding onto us. He has always been the anchor for our soul. We have always been tethered to our Maker. When we come to Him, we finally feel we are home where we belong, and we find the love we've been longing for all our lives!
A Thought: I'm running to Your open arms, because that's where I've always belonged!
