My conversation with Carly (in red)
whenever we get comfortable with something in our lives, when we start to love something or have something for a while, God will most of the time pull it away... and for a while I was like why, what the hell, that doesn’t make sense.... but then I realized that God is enough, Jesus is enough and we need to learn that He is all we need, and when I get that down, then He will give me other things I want as gifts
I obviously do not have that down, so i keep getting things pulled away from me, but it's good, it's helping me grow
that makes sense. I wish I could be happy with just that.
you can be, it's just hard
ok before I tell you this, I don't want to sound like I’m preaching or trying to make you think anything!! I don't want that
I just want to tell you what I’m learning, cuz it seems like you could benefit
I wouldn't think that. I know you just want the best
all the feelings we get from other people and other things, are all from God.. so He is the one who gives them to us through other people, so it's sometimes hard to remember that God can give us all those feelings just by Himself.. he just sometimes uses his creations to give it to us also
So like love, when we realize that God is Love, and he is the only reason we have love, then he lets us feel true perfect love and then can have a person show just a little part of His love
because a person can only give so much and it's not as good as the actual Love
but like people who refuse to believe there is a God.. then they are refusing love
yeah that's actually really true & I get it. I get it but I haven't really applied it to my life like I need too.
me either, very few people have
i have sooo much work to do with my character and faith
but i think that's what shows how much he loves us; that he is willing to give us unlimited chances if.. and only if we are trusting him.
and that's just cuz i'm selfish
and i don't know how to get rid of that, but that is kind of the point, i don't know how to get rid of it because i simply can't, i can't do it alone, and that is why we need God because the only reason i can do things is because of Him
and i've realized this, but i still have not fully put it to work
which makes me glad that He does love me, otherwise I would have been dead a long time ago.
