Marriage & Motherhood Won’t Complete You: ‘The Answer Is Always the Same. It’s Always Him.’

If we fill the longing with being generous, if we fill it by bringing healing to this place, if we fill the longing with a relationship with Him instead of a relationship with worldly status—we realize no circumstance can ever fill in the gaps.

It’s always Him.
