The song, “Looking for Love in All the Wrong Places,” was sung by Johnny Lee. It was released in June 1980. It was a hit because so much of humanity can relate to it. The path of finding that perfect partner is littered with the wrecks of failures in this pursuit.
One stanza goes like this:
I was lookin’ for love in all the wrong places
Lookin’ for love in too many faces
Searchin’ their eyes
Lookin’ for traces of what I’m dreaming of
Hoping to find a friend and lover
I’ll bless the day I discover
Another heart lookin’ for love.
Perfect love is not found in man, but in the One who fashioned us.
Romans 8:35
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
1 John 3:1
See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.
It’s good to love others and have others love us. However, His love is unconditional, secure, and eternal.
Think about it.
