Why I always get hurt? 💔
Oftentimes, we're busy taking care of the relationship we have with our family, friends, acquaintances, and even with our partners. We are so busy taking care of these relationships that we forgot that there is Someone we neglect.
Originally, man lived before God in the garden of Eden and had a face to face relationship with God. After man fell, however, many things entered into man that became a barrier between him and God. Man cannot live life in an indifferent way, because within man there is a desire to love. God created man in this way so that man would love Him. Man cannot live apathetically; he is always looking for something to love. Thus, God Himself came to be the object of man's love.
Apart from God, whatever man loves will ultimately be harmful to him, no matter how good it is.
No matter what man loves, he can only love it to a certain extent, because the thing he loves may be harmful to him.
Therefore, if man loves something apart from the Lord without limitation, eventually he will be hurt.
We all know that we should love God, but sometimes it seems that we are not able to love Him.
So, what should we do for us to live such a life of drawing near to God and loving God?
1. Speak to God - this is to pray. It is the first thing we should do after waking up early in the morning.
2. Listen to God's speaking - this is to read the Word. We should do this after praying.
3. Speak with our fellow Christians - this is to have fellowship with them, not only in the meetings but also in our daily living.
4. Speak to unbelievers - this is to preach the gospel, and it is something we should do in season and out of season.
(Chapter 7, The Altar of God - The barrier between man and God)
