WHY DO YOU HAVE A LOVE TANK? Why are Facebook, Twitter and Instagram getting bigger? Because deep in our hearts, our most basic need, found in our DNA, written in our genetic code, is the need to belong to a community, a friendship, a network, a club, or a family. Forgive me for being flat-out corny and downright mushy, but whether you know it or not, whether you admit it or not, you have a desperate need for love. Yes, you have a love tank in your heart. You were born with it. Everybody has it. Male or female, you need love. Yes, men, too. I dont care how macho you are. I dont care if you look like a gorilla. I dont care if you look so mean, little kids scream in terror when they see you. I dont care if you look like a 500-pound wrestler and you can crush me just by looking at me. At your deepest core, you still need love. The billionaire living in the penthouse of his own skyscraper and the beggar living in a dark alley behind that skyscraper — both of them are desperate for love. The eight-month-old baby, left in her crib, longing and crying for her mothers arms to embrace her, and an 80-year-old woman in a wheelchair, longing and crying for her son to visit her — both are desperate for love. Single, married, divorced or widowed — you need love. Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu, atheist or agnostic — you need love. When God made you, He put that need into you. He designed this need into you. Why? Because at the end of the day, even if you have 2,346,114 likes in Facebook, this need, this craving, this hunger for love will never be met. Ultimately, this need for love is a need for God. Because Love is God. Excerpt taken from Is Your Love Tank Empty? by Bo Sanchez
