“And I still haven’t found what I’m looking for”. The lyrics from the U2 song could be the synopsis of a lot of people’s experience of life in this world. Looking at Robbie Williams as an example, a guy who has everything this world has to offer, but the lyrics from his songs reveal a longing in his heart and soul that isn’t satisfied by these worldly things. He has money, fame, success, women; the ultimate celebrity lifestyle pushed so much by the media, and yet he longs for “Real Love” to satisfy the longings in his soul. As Selwyn Hughes puts it in his book Christ Empowered Living “the human soul can only be satisfied when Christ becomes the prime focus of its attention, and that only He can address the ache for life and reality that exists in the human heart.”
We can only find what we’re looking for, and experience “Real Love” by having Christ as the center of our inner-most being, and developing a relationship with the father through Christ by whom we are made worthy.
