I had to pm someone. Geez. lol.
I may have gone overboard in the streams thread. It makes me sound selfish. I've got a lot going on in my life right now, and honestly, not having people who care about me too seem like dead weight. I love taking care of people, but I need care too.
It's only natural to want people in your life to care for you,and I think if as believers we walked more in the fullness that Jesus called us to walk in ,then that need for care would be fulfilled more so in our lives. I think that's why it's soooo important that we really have that heart knowledge of who we are in Christ,so that when all around us goes to hell & all the peeps we know walk away & abandon us,we still keep our chins up because we KNOW in whom our love,acceptance & strength come from. I am not negating the awesomeness of a warm body to hold you close,or a kiss,or to hear someone else say "I love you..I'm here for you"...someone to hold your hand...those are awesome blessing indeed. Jesus was a man of many sorrows. He took all that on Himself,so that we wouldn't have to carry them. Unfortunately,we are flesh & blood & sometimes that flesh seems to demand satisfaction,sometimes at the cost of what we know is truth. We hang with peeps who are not always the best company to keep,because they don't require anything from us...plus it always feels nice to think we are valued,even if it's a falseness at times. But back to the peeps being selfish in yer' life & take take taking...nah..you don't need that. We are to give freely,as Christ gave to us..but that doesn't mean you should be a doormat for no reason,just for other's to unload their problems on you. I don't see how God would want that for any of us.
