There’s a restlessness in you, isn’t there?

Even when life is good. Even when the job is steady, the bills are paid, the house is quiet. Even when the people around you say, “You should be happy.”

Still… something aches. Something feels like it’s missing.

You’ve tried to explain it. Tried to fix it. Tried to silence it. But it lingers.

And you wonder: What is wrong with me?

Can I tell you something sacred?

There is nothing wrong with you.

The ache is not a flaw. It’s not a sign that you’re broken or ungrateful. It’s not something to medicate or ignore.

It’s a signal. A sacred homesickness.

Your soul remembers something that your mind forgot.

It remembers the Garden. It remembers the Voice. It remembers walking in the cool of the day with the One who created it.

And every time you try to fill that ache with success, relationships, distractions, or control… it only deepens. Because you weren’t made for this world’s noise. You were made for communion.

Not religion. Not performance. Not hollow belief systems.

But intimacy with the Living God.

He’s not far off. He’s not punishing you with emptiness. The emptiness is actually His Mercy— pulling you back to Himself.

Every longing you’ve ever had was a whisper from Him. Every tear you’ve shed in secret was caught by Him. Every question you’ve ever asked about why you’re here…

The answer has always been Him.

The truth is, this world taught you who to be. It taught you to chase, to perform, to prove, to survive. But God is calling you back to who you were before the fall— before shame, before fear, before masks.

You are not who the world said you are. You are who God designed you to become.

And the ache you feel?

It’s the alarm clock of your soul. It’s time to wake up.

Return.

Remember.

Reclaim your Righteousness in the Garden you were made for.

You don’t have to earn it. You just have to respond.

“He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from the beginning.”

–Ecclesiastes 3:11

Devotional: “The Ache That Leads You Home”

The ache you feel is not your enemy— it’s your invitation.

In a world that screams louder and faster, the Holy Spirit still speaks in a whisper. And often, that whisper shows up as a longing you can’t quite name. A subtle pull in your spirit that tells you, there’s more than this.

You were never meant to be numb. You were meant to feel your way back to God. To let the ache become an altar. To let the emptiness be the doorway that brings you home.

Don’t despise your hunger— embrace it. Let it lead you.

Let it point you back to the only One who can satisfy the soul.

Because what you’re looking for is not of this material world. It’s found only in Him.

It’s always been Him.
