Recently I heard an old song I knew all the words to when growing up. The main chorus was, “I just need your love tonight.”  The lead singer was quite clear about his intentions. He simply wanted her love for the night, nothing more. I wondered why he bothered to say love; it was obvious he only wanted sex. Was he confused or was he trying to confuse the young lady?

Yet it is becoming standard practice to be physically intimate before knowing who we can trust with our hearts. We grant access to the most intimate parts of our bodies, not realizing the heart longs for a much deeper intimacy.

People are pretty much the same. While there are obvious physical or ethnic differences and various preferences, every human heart is—without exception—in search of something or someone who will convince us that we are valued.

Always A Father First
