"What a man desires is unfailing love;
better to be poor than a liar." -Proverbs 19:22
Humans are spiritual beings. We were made in the image and essence of our Father above, and from the dirt of the ground. We're hybrids. But one thing we need to understand is that our identity is not in our fleshly bodies (that were made out of dirt). Our identity is what was made in the image of God. That is, our spiritual beings. Our minds, our hearts, our spirits.... this is who we are. We are children of God.
And yet we get distracted... disorientated, and we live to satisfy our flesh. Or we try to satisfy our souls, just in the wrong ways which lead to... sadness. We live for this world: for money, for rank, for status. Or we realize our deeper desires and try to satisfy those with what we think is love, only to get hurt by broken relationships and to be left in a lonlier state than where we began.
"What a man desires is unfailing love...." Only God knows what we need. Only the creator, OUR creator, knows what we really, really need. And only He can provide us with what we really, really want. That is..... love. An unfailing love. An unfailing relationship--which can only be found in Him. Because HE IS LOVE. HE is this unfailing love. He never fails. He was, He is, and He will always be. He never changes. You can look for this in other people, but they will always fail you. In the end they will always fail. And at the same time you will always fail them. Unless you know and experience what unfailing love is.... who God really is.... then can you share this with others and really LIVE in the fullness of what is really love.
"Better to be poor than a liar." Better to be poor in this world: poor in money, poor in status, poor in rank, yet be rich in love... than be .... a liar. Don't fool yourself. Don't let the things of this world distract you from what you really need.
You don't need to go to church to know God. You can talk to Him now. You can pray right now and tell Him that you want to experience this love--the fullness of unfailing love~ Then leave the rest up to Him. Religion is a problem because it's so distracting. There are so many elements, rules, standards. There's so much history. But all of that comes secondary. You don't need to worry about that. All you need is an honest desire to know Him, a prayer to TELL Him that desire... and He'll do the rest.
Let's be living people~
