Too often people depend on someone else to meet their needs and it always ends in failure, hurting one and robbing the other. Sometimes it is a child looking to a parent, sometimes it is a spouse looking to the other but regardless only one person can meet all our needs and that is Jesus. What’s worse is when someone feels they’ve been let down by someone else then turn and start all over with another person to meet their needs but the closer they get the more they realize that person doesn’t meet their needs either and the same destructive behavior ends that relationship like the one before it. Worse yet are those who give up on relationships and walk around with gaping wounds, it would be as if the injured in a battle got up and started walking in the midst of the battle. In the end it isn’t the fault of the person being looked to but something is missing deep within one’s self. Though the soul cries out for relationship with Jesus, as Savior and provider getting past the wants of the flesh proves to be difficult. This endless searching maybe because of hurt or neglected as a child or just not being aware of the needs of something deeper but there comes an age of accountability and the message, the answer, will be made known and faith will be required to step through the doorway of truth. Either way a lot of energy is put into gaining back what was lost or never had but in the end it doesn’t matter, for either one will find Jesus or search for the rest of their life being tossed to and fro like a ship on stormy waters.
Jesus told him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through Me.
(John 14:6 NLT)
Look! I stand at the door and knock. If you hear My voice and open the door, I will come in, and we will share a meal together as friends. Those who are victorious will sit with Me on My throne, just as I was victorious and sat with My Father on His throne. Anyone with ears to hear must listen to the Spirit and understand what He is saying to the churches.
(Revelation 3:20-22 NLT)
