The document discusses the topic of love and finding true love. It states that love remains a mystery that science cannot explain. It also discusses seven steps to finding true love, including revealing your true self to another and accepting vulnerability, as well as recognizing that true love comes from God alone. The document encourages praying to God to heal a broken heart and find a sense of worth and value through His unconditional love.

3.  There is probably no topic which has captivated people
throughout the centuries and from most every culture than the
topic of love. We put a man on the moon, broke the speed of
sound, and mapped the human genome, but love remains a
complete mystery. Science has not been able to explain it.
Mathematics cannot predict it. Poets still wrestle with adequate
words to describe it.

4.  It may have been more than two centuries ago, but Plato’s
words have never sounded more true, “Every heart sings a
song, incomplete.” We are all looking for love. At any given
moment, we may be far from it but we never stop hoping
the next opportunity is just over on the horizon. We are all
looking for true love.

5.  One of our frustrations
with love is our complete
inability to keep it. Like
sand slipping between our
fingers, the harder we
grasp the faster it seems
to fall through. It would
be nice if love was as
simple as baking a batch
of cookies or building a
bird house for the
backyard; a simple set of
ingredients, a logical list
of steps to take. But we all
know the truth; love
cannot be manufactured.

6.  But, it is possible to find true love; even unconditional
love! Here are seven steps to finding true love.
1. Love Requires You to Reveal Your True Self to Another:
The famous author, C. S. Lewis, puts it best, “To love at all is to be vulnerable.
Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to
make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one.” Lewis is right. What
makes love so hard, and sometimes painful, is the vulnerability that always
seems to accompany it.

7.  2. Finding True Love Can Be Difficult
 The Bible has a remarkable story about a woman named Leah who
discovered that finding true love was difficult. Leah was the daughter
of a wealthy and manipulative man named Laban. Leah also had a
sister named Rachel, one of the most beautiful women in the whole
region. Leah, was described as, “weak in the eyes.” We do not know
exactly what that phrase means, but it is not hard to guess. Even
without the side-by-side comparison to her beautiful sister, Leah
was not drawing much attention.

8.  3. Your Need for True Love Reveals Your Need to Be Loved
Unconditionally
 Leah’s life was controlled by the hope that she could somehow
make herself lovable. She was desperate to find a way to earn her
husband’s attention. Her broken heart and desperation to be loved
teaches us a deeply personal truth about our own search for true
love. We inevitably all feel the crushing weight of trying to earn it.

9.  4. True Love is Complicated by Our Self-Interest
Let me tell you a secret that you probably know already but are not willing
to admit. Unconditional love, the kind that pours meaning and significance
into your life, is hard to find in another human being because we are all too
self-interested and too self-motivated. Our hearts are bent toward
protecting and promoting ourselves. It is not hard to see!

10.  5. There is Only One Source of True Love
Let us return to Leah’s story for a moment. Leah was caught up in the
struggle to earn her husband’s love. Three sons later, she was still clinging
to the hope that one day he would wake up and start to appreciate her. She
kept waiting and waiting. Eventually, Leah gave birth to another son, her
fourth. Leah named him Judah and announced, “Now I will praise God.”
Judah’s name means something special. It means to praise, or be thankful
to God.

11.  6. Accepting Jesus’ Love Opens the Door to a New Life
The good news of what Jesus has done for you is not just salvation from a
coming apocalyptic destruction but accepting Jesus’ love, will begin to
transform and fill your life with purpose, strength, and value. Like Leah,
you will be amazed at the realization that you have discovered true love!
You can thrive in the amazing joy of worshipping Him with a thankful and
pure heart regardless of what is going on around you.

12.  7. Your Search for True Love Begins with This Simple
Prayer
Your journey for true love and to be loved unconditionally begins with a simple prayer.
Would you read and believe this prayer with me?
"God, right now I’m experiencing deep hurt and rejection. I realize that I have spent
much of my life trying to find love and value in the wrong places. I don’t want to go
on living like this. Forgive me for trying to find my own way. Forgive me for
neglecting You. I thank you that even before I was aware of it, You were
demonstrating Your love for me in Jesus’ death. I thank You that His death offers me
a way to know You and to experience Your love. God, fill my heart with a sense of
your love. Help me to realize that you are the source of my worth and value. I trust
you with my life and my broken heart. Heal it. Help me to turn to you, and worship
you. Amen."
