“We stand in the midst of human dilemma. We long for community;we long to belong; we long for love. Yet what we long for most we seem incapable of sustaining. Humanity has no natural predators except each other. We are safer in the jungle than in the city. We are our own worst enemies”. -Erwin McManus

DC Talk has a song that says, ” confession is the road to healing”, and last night our own transparency set us free. We are all addicted to love. We yearn for for it,  we are desperate for it, and it consumes our every thought. Last nights life group was really cool. We all came to the conclusion that we constantly battle with this void. We wanna be loved, we wanna love, but the minute we give it a shot it backfires. McManus states that the more we love someone, the more that person can hurt you. Crazy! We shared how we choose to love therefore our human nature drives our love to be conditional. We love GOd “unconditional because he first loved us. Yet despite of that, we choose to love conditional! We are so human!! I was the advocate last night, and it was great to have everyone thinking back and forth. I have an amazing group. You guys rock! Without Love we are dead, without Love there is no true reason to live. God created us to love and to be loved. Or as nick put it last night, ” we are sexual beings”. True!  The reason for our existence is found in our Creator. Scriptures state that GOD IS LOVE. Therefore its fair to say that without him we are dead, without him there is no true reason to live. Without him we will lever experience TrueLove…
