the desire for companionship

Yeah, we all have that desire. Since I came out to school, I've made marvelous friends. Don't get me wrong. I love them a lot and really enjoy their company. But there's still a loneliness.

You Fill The Hole In My Heart

Generally speaking, we talk about "the hole in our hearts that only God can fill". The secular world likes to try to fill it with pleasure-seeking endeavors, but it just doesn't work. This is not the loneliness or heartache I'm experiencing. I know that. I'm closer to God than I have ever been.

There's another type of companionship that human beings crave. It's why so many people indulge in premarital sex. It's a desire to know someone's there for you, no matter what. There's also a desire for a physical presence, even just that person standing behind you.

Yet even if we can't have the companionship of that person for lengthy periods of time, we can still move on. In a way, it's proving to yourselves that not only can you work together, but you can also stand on your own feet if - heaven forbid - something should happen to them.

Not everyone is called to a married lifestyle. I know that. For those people, they find their fulfillment through simple friendships and their pets (if they have any). With the rest of us, though, we just have to find the right person.

And then our hearts will be full.
