Chasing what the world offers leaves us with a desire for more of same. God, on the other hand brings us from glory to glory, Jesus is always enough! 🙌🏽
When you do not have a relationship with God, you will spend your entire life chasing the fulfillment that only He can give you. You will chase it through relationships, sex, attention, success, beauty, money, status, or whatever else promises to make you feel whole.
But none of it will ever be enough.
You might feel satisfied for a moment, but the feeling always fades, and then you have to chase the next thing. The next relationship. The next compliment. The next achievement. The next person who makes you feel wanted.
We were created for communion with God. There is a part of us that was made to know Him, to be loved by Him, and to find our identity in Him. When that relationship is missing, we don’t stop needing fulfillment. We just try to find it somewhere else.
And that is where so much of the deception begins.
@FreddyLA7 We all won, thanks to the absolutely incredible journey you took us on around our great country! Heck, I watched soccer for the first time, because of “my German friend” @FreddyLA7. God bless you and God bless America 🇺🇸🙏🏽
Love naturally creates a desire to be closer. When you truly love someone, their presence makes you long for more, sometimes even when they’re fully present beside you …not bc what they give is inadequate, but bc love always longs to expand.
This mirrors how God loves us. 1/2
Nobody profits from telling you the body heals itself. So nobody tells you.
Your taste buds are new every 10 to 14 days. The tongue reading this flavour is a fortnight old.
Your stomach lining rebuilds every 3 to 5 days. Last week's gut is already gone.
Your skin turns over every 4 weeks. You grew a whole new surface this month.
Your white blood cells renew in days. Tonight's immune army was not on watch last week.
Your red blood cells retire every 120 days. Four months, and the entire fleet is replaced.
The fat built into your cell membranes turns over too. Years of stored seed oil can slowly be walked back out.
Your liver just gets on with regenerating. It holds no grudge about the bad years.
Your skeleton rebuilds over roughly ten years. The bones made in the worst years are not the ones you finish with.
Every one of those rebuilds is made from what you feed it.
Feed it meat, fat, sunlight and sleep, and it builds you strong.
Feed it sugar, seed oil and the sofa, and it builds you soft.
The body you will have next year is under construction right now.
What you give it today is what it builds you into.
This is Winnie. He got so excited that he briefly forgot how to be a dog. You can laugh, but he'd like to point out you look this ridiculous all the time. 13/10
@TheIACRL@MikeCrispi@NEWSMAX My great grandparents came from Palermo, Sicily. They brought skills and started working, opening a shoe shop and working in the food industry. My Paladino family has a heritage of hard work and dedication to our craft—walking and eating!!
