Following

“…come, follow Me.” (Luke 18:22)

We are designed to follow One, and only One – God. Not ourselves, not others, not anything this side of heaven.

We certainly can be surrounded by excellent people, incredible relationships, and wonderful experiences yet none of them will bring us ultimate fulfillment. Each and every one of those at some point will fail us if we look to them as the source of our happiness, peace and joy.

– No person can be the source of your identity.
– No one can be the source of your happiness.
– No individual can give you a reason to get up in the morning and continue.
– No loved one can be the carrier of your hope.
– No one is able to change you from the inside out.
– No human being can alter your past.
– No person is able to atone for your wrongs.
– No one can give your heart peace and trust.

“Asking another human being to do those things is lilke requiring them to be the fourth member of the Trinity, and then judging them when they fall short.” (Source unknown)
