The human person is the satisfaction of God's infinite longing. God is the satisfaction of every person's infinite longing. Infinite longing itself was created in us to draw us back to the Infinite.
. . . It is too easy to dismiss uncomfortable or negative experiences as "bad" or "wrong," and many of us were raised to ignore, downplay, or repress certain facets of the human experience. Joseph and Mary taught Jesus how to grow into his full humanity. They affirmed him for who he was, a human boy, and raised him into a human man.
What part of your humanity do you believe can't be from God?
Sin is the misuse of our humanity, but what specific elements native to your humanity itself, maybe something in your personality, do you reject or find it hard to believe was willed by God to exist in your identity as a human person?
My sometimes infinite need for social connection and bondedness to others. The flip side of this desire often comes with loneliness or sorrow when I feel distance from others.
