A Hidden Yearning

Has anyone else ever noticed that God never asked us to yearn for him; to want him. God is a God of love, of relationship. Of course he wants to be yearned for. He asks us to love Him but not yearn for Him. Maybe its because we already do, every last one of us. We all have that missing spot inside of us, that sense of yearning. What are we yearning for? More oft than not we search it out in human relationships, with love from the opposite sex. God, did after all, create such a relationship, so its safe to assume that loving another is not wrong. In fact it is correct and right. But, are we not reminded in the Bible, that our romantic relationships with each other is an actual representation of our relationship with God. I don't mean the physical, because though parts of the idea of the physical is a representation, the act in itself is something God gave uniquely to us (isn't He an amazing God). I mean the emotional part. The part where your partner becomes your best friend. In an ideal world you can share anything with them. In an ideal world you can trust everything to them, your life, your body, your soul, and your spirit. So it is with God. No wonder we get confused and chase after only romantic relationships when that is only a part of what our yearning is for. The other part, the big part, is for God. It is no wonder He doesn't ask us to yearn for Him: we already do.
