Thoughts.. people FAIL..

It seems that we often wrap everything around others. We wrap our time
around them, our lives around them. We wrap our hearts around them,
and arms around them. It seems like people are the reason for things
we do. Like they are the reason we are living. The reason for our
happiness.
But in truth, I will tell you what people are. You may not like to
hear it, but here it is. People are FAILURES. If we are constantly
looking to someone else to fufill us, we are going to be disappointed.
They will always come short, because one person cannot be everything.
They can't possibly have enough energy to be there for others and help
themselves as well ALL the time. Now, am I saying that since people
are obviously going to fail us at one point or another, we shoudlnt
reach out to them? No. I'm not saying that. People are wonderful.
Friends are amazing to have. That one person you can talk to about
anything, who is there for you when things get hard. That's so awesome.
but if we look to people to fufill us, we are going to be sold short.
So this creates a problem. If people fail.. what are we supposed to
do? we can depend on eachother only so much before things start to
pressurize and it becomes to the point of suffocation..
There's someone who doesn't fail.
and someone who is always always always there.
and sometimes he will make himself known through other people. he uses
the the people around you to help
you through stuff.
But he wants you to reconize him as being the ultimute source of life
and happiness.
HE is the reason we live. and he is the only one who can make us
complete.
He created people to love, and be loved. He gives us friends to help
us through hard times. But ultimutely he is the one we should turn to.
He loves us more than any other human could.
because he is the creator of the heavens and the earth. Because he
knows us, he knew us before we were born. becuase he DIED for us. and
he tells us that he will never leave us, or forsake us.
he's right there, but so many people reject his love. they look to
people and for a while, it's enough. but over time, without God, it
doesn't work. it fails us.
God has so much more planned for our lives, if we choose to follow him.
rejecting him is like walking up to the cross, and looking up at
Christ, who is bleeding, suffereing, crying out in anguish. It's like
standing there, and saying "this isn't enough. forgiveness isn't
enough. Christs death isn't enough."
so what is enough?
