Why Attachment Is Blocking Love (if you let go it would come)

So many people desire to know God. They are seeking after Him, some of them in the wrong way. God wants us to be found of Him. He wants us to know Him in the intimacy of everyday closeness. Actually, He wants us to know Him more than most of us realize. Knowing God is an experience which can be enjoyed repeatedly because the more we know Him, the more we will want to know Him. How can we get to know Him in reality? Here a just a few keys which, if practice daily, will bring you into a closer walk with God.

Is it not significant that one of the finest confessions of faith in the New Testament comes from Thomas? Thomas you can be such a help at times. Thomas is a troubled sensitive beleaguered but courageous soul in that Upper Room. Are we not all a mixture of these emotions and feelings to some degree? There are moments when Jesus Christ breaks through – breaking down the closed locked door, in loving kindness, and with mercy and grace, shining His light in whatever dark corner might remain! When the Fellowship of the Church of Jesus Christ in your locally is meeting, make sure you are present whenever it is possible. Was Thomas walking the streets of Jerusalem alone with his own thoughts and griefs and memories? It is Passover. It would be bright. Were the outlines of the cross still visible on Golgotha’s horizon?

With all that is going on in our world as this is being written can this incident encourage all those who need a word of uplift and encouragement and motivation and inspiration? What is the world coming to? We have had twenty Centuries of Christianity, but are we any nearer the New Jerusalem? If Christ is Lord of history, where is He leading us? It appears to be all a shambles – morally – financially – spiritually – politically. Ah, Thomas you are such a help here. Thomas is a troubled sensitive beleaguered but courageous soul in that Upper Room. Are we not all a mixture of these emotions and feelings to some degree? Can we this coming week minister to some troubled sensitive beleaguered soul? We will not have far to look for one.

To position someone or something is to place that person or thing in a place that will make it or the person relevant to the task or goal that we seek accomplish. To put someone or something in a suitable place. Regardless of circumstance we can still move forward. You can place a lid on tightly, but the right amount of pressure will blow it right off. When people and situations seek to clamp down on you, apply pressure and it dissipates or relieves the problem. I encourage anyone going through anything to press on. When you do, you position yourself to receive a blessing you never saw coming.

In Psalm 119:97 we read a most amazing statement. “Oh, how I love your law! I meditate on it all day long.” The psalmist has a passion for God’s truth. He is so enthralled by God’s Word that he thinks about it constantly. For this writer, pondering the Word of God has become a habit.

To know ourselves would be to love ourselves. As we have come to “know” ourselves through the eyes of our parents, siblings, caregivers, bosses, teachers, and to the degree we “know” ourselves as unworthy, unlovable, tainted, bad, stupid, a waste, not wanted, is to the degree we have been known by one who only knew themselves through a long line of false, altered and mistaken beliefs.

Right and wrong are no longer the point. Indeed, to land at right and wrong is to miss the point. But, all the same, there is an appreciation in the mystic of the right to choose what is right and what is wrong.

The Christian family must live in the world, take part in many world activities, and yet resist being overcome by the errors within the world system. From birth to death, every person is a unique individual who will see this world through unique mind-filters. Learn to walk with Christian character before men, before God, and before your children.

Are you like me where you’ve began to enjoy rainy and stormy days? Somehow these types of days have turned from being sour hindrances into opportunities of relaxation or quality time with family.

Do you ever wonder why are you constantly getting attacked through people, circumstances, bizarre events? Do you wonder why you feel heaviness, discouragement, frustration? It’s time to recognize the source.
