Intimacy is something that humans inherently crave. We long to truly know and to be known. This is something I have definitely struggled with in my walk with Christ, especially being single. So many of us (myself included) long for "the one." The one who will make us coffee in the morning and rub our feet at night. The one who will chat with you over endless cups of coffee and hold you in your darkest hours. But Jesus calls us to Him. He wants these moments with us.
In Dannah Gresh's newest book, she calls young women to run into the loving arms of God. To get lost in His love. I love how she puts it in chapter 2: "The Curse [Fall] describes what women everywhere would now experience: an insatiable longing to control a man's attention, a longing that we'll spend our lives trying to either satisfy or smother - unless we discover God's answer to our love hunger through Jesus Christ. And that's the good news: there's a solution to the ache you feel. But the remedy for your Violent Craving for a guy isn't a guy at all!"
Overall, I loved this book. I highly recommend it to any woman who wants dive deeper in their relationship with God. My only caution: go slowly. I powered through this book because I was so excited, but didn't seem much different on the other end. Take your time and really soak up Gresh's words. I pray they will bless you.
