He’ll satisfy every longing of your heart

You will leave me alone. Yet I am not alone, for the Father is with me. (John 16:32 NIV)

There are many kinds of loneliness that can happen to almost anyone. There is a deep longing in every heart to have someone who understands them and shares their interests, and helps them with their problems, and sympathizes with them, and enters into their joys and triumphs, sorrows and defeats.

Why is there this deep craving within us to be understood? Why is there this intense longing to have someone fully understand us? No human being will ever fully understand you. No living mortal can ever enter the deepest recesses of your mind, heart, and soul. There is always a locked door where no one can enter but yourself.

God knew that when you found human love and sympathy so lacking you would seek Him, for God Himself is the answer, the fulfillment. Only He Himself can fill the longing heart. You’ll never be satisfied without Him; until He fills your life, you’ll never be free from loneliness. God knew that this sense of isolation, of not being understood, would drive you to Him.

God’s Word says, “Christ is a satisfying portion,” and He’ll satisfy every longing of your heart. God is great enough and big enough to fill your soul. [1]

You cannot come too often, or too near.
The Son of God is infinite in grace,
His presence satisfies the lonely soul,
And those who walk with Him from day to day
Can never know a “solitary way.” - Author unknown
