How often do people say foolish things? Like myself for example. I inwardly cringe as I hear my words tumble out of my mouth like a sudden gush of morning sickness.
How wounded we quickly become as we head to man or women in the hope they offer us milk & honey only to leave with our bellies full of sourness or with gravel in our mouths.
How often does one open their heart and spill fourth an event with the hurtful, harmful, damaged comments that leave that soul helpless, damaged, bruised?
As I've done so, to the detriment of myself, my spouse and my children I sought 'assistance' by a self up talked church leader only to witness the fall in man (woman actually).
As I read my bible I read passages that encourage us to seek God for our comfort. Not go to our church leadership although they are sometimes helpful, usually knowledgeable and can often steer you in the right direction as to who to talk to in your situation.
Even special people you may deem to be 'up there' in the list of people who are on higher spiritual platforms then you are, are sought for their wisdom, knowledge and experience often fail at delivering the expected comfort you need and seek.
Our God always tells us to seek Him, he tells us you will find him if you seek him with all of your heart.
If I can be so bold (I'm not blog-shy) to announce that I've done both. One gives the results of added pain, hurts, offences amongst a tirade of its your fault this happened you should be a better wife/mother/Christian/person, you should have prayed, prayed more, prayed harder, read your bible more, quoted scripture, declared scripture, had christian music playing, while the other gives comfort, peace and even joy.
When seeking man for your comfort your not going to find it in its entirety.
When you seek God it is all right there. Even when YOUR in the wrong!!! EVEN if your the one who did the sin, hurting, offences. What is that saying? That no matter what you've done there is a God who loves you still.
In fact the reason people should change their lifestyle is out of respect for God!! Not man/church/woman. Because you WANT to not because you HAVE to. It's true on so many levels.
Have you been comforted recently?
I know I have..
Remain Blessed
