Subject: 80's Church Newsletter: Finding Fulfillment in God's Unfailing Love! 🎵🌟
Greetings, beloved members of 80's Church!
We're here to ignite your spirits and deepen your faith as we explore the powerful lyrics of "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" by U2.
This iconic song resonates with our longing for something greater, something that fills the void within us. Let's dive into this devotion and discover how we can find true fulfillment in God's unfailing love. Get ready to be inspired!
🎶 "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" - U2 🎶
Verse 1:
"I have climbed the highest mountains
I have run through the fields
Only to be with you
Only to be with you
I have run, I have crawled
I have scaled these city walls
These city walls
Only to be with you"
Devotional: Sometimes in life, we find ourselves searching for meaning, purpose, and a deeper connection with God.
We may climb the highest mountains, pursuing success, or run through the fields of various experiences, hoping to find what truly satisfies our souls.
Yet, in this relentless pursuit, we often discover that nothing on Earth can fully satisfy our deepest longings.
We can relate to the lyrics of this song, realizing that we still haven't found what we're looking for.
Devotional: Psalm 63:1-8 - Finding Fulfillment in God's Presence
"O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water. So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary, beholding your power and glory. Because your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise you. So I will bless you as long as I live; in your name I will lift up my hands. My soul will be satisfied as with fat and rich food, and my mouth will praise you with joyful lips, when I remember you upon my bed, and meditate on you in the watches of the night; for you have been my help, and in the shadow of your wings I will sing for joy. My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me."
But take heart, dear friends, for this longing within us is a divine invitation. It is God's way of drawing us closer to Him, the One who alone can fulfill us completely. While we may experience moments of joy and fulfillment along our earthly journey, it is in the embrace of God's unfailing love that our souls find true rest and satisfaction.
Takeaway:
Embrace the truth that our ultimate fulfillment is found in a deep, personal relationship with God.
No earthly pursuit or experience can compare to the abundant love and purpose we discover in Him.
Let's open our hearts and allow God's love to fill the void within us, bringing lasting joy, peace, and contentment.

As we reflect on these lyrics, let's consider the following questions:
1️⃣ What are some areas in your life where you've been seeking fulfillment apart from God's love?
2️⃣ How can you intentionally prioritize your relationship with God and experience His love more deeply?
3️⃣ What steps can you take to align your desires with God's will, finding true fulfillment in His purposes?
Remember, dear friends, our journey of faith is ongoing. By seeking God's presence and surrendering our desires to Him, we embark on a path that leads us to discover true and lasting fulfillment.
In the next edition of 80's Church Newsletter, we'll continue to explore more uplifting devotionals inspired by the music of that era. Until then, let God's unfailing love guide your steps and fill your hearts with joy!
Blessings,
John and Michelle H
