We like to create bonds, to belong, to build something with someone. We like affectionate nicknames, share secrets, internal jokes and have "our music". We like the interests in common, to overcome challenges together, laugh and cry, to see the years pass by whoever is loved, to have a shared history!
When reading these things, you must have remembered someone ... a boyfriend, a best friend or, last but not least, the story you dream of living!
Deep and long-term connections are something the heart desires. For the rest, what the Bible says is that God put in the heart of man a deep desire for eternity (Ec 3:11), so, everything that we can live here lasting, still is not going to be enough. .. Actually, you were not created to be content with superficial relationships, but to say that was not in my plans.
Let's go back to the story! Our story with someone is very relevant, when we go through some difficult situation in relationships, we often resort our history with people, saying: "but we already live so much together ..." or, when distrust wants to knock on the door , "I know that person, she would not act like that ...", and the opposite also: "it's been like that for years ...".
It was thinking that I understood something so everyday and incredible: I have a story with God! With him I built my first and deepest shared history, we have deep ties, we know each other and we also belong (Canticles 6: 3). I can say, "He would not abandon me ...", in every challenging situation and in every moment of doubt, I turn to our historical.
So one certainty we have, before building any story with someone, we have a story with God.
