What is the Christian heading for his or her "friend" thinking about? Is it, "I need relief from all this anxiety or tension?" Or, "I need to be punished again?" And, "I want to 'feel' alive now?"
God tells His children in
Collossians 3:2 "Set your affections on things above, and do not be focused, on the things of this earth." In other words, the believers True Father is saying, "Look at ME ALL THE TIME AND SEE YOURSELF THE WAY I SEE YOU."
1. My Children no longer need to possess anxiety,
Phillipians 4:6.
2. My Children need not "feel" numb. They are ALIVE in
My Son, Ephesians 2:1. And I have given them a
New Life, II Corinthians 5:17.
3. My Children ought not to punish themselves for they
are without blame, Romans 8:1.
Another thing about dropping one's "focus" down into the world is that the child of God will become lost once again. And a Christians wandering around in the world will find themselves once again feeling hopeless, help-less, broken inside, and unloved. But this is all a lie straight from satan, John 8:44.
God's "Affections from Above" tell us that:
1. His Children need not be lost anymore, Luke 19:10.
2. His Children have hope. They are eternally saved
and protected, John 10:27-30.
3. As a Perfect Father He provides all that His Children
need, Ephesians 1:3; Hebrews 4:16.
4. He is constantly building His Children into something
better as each on allow Him to work, Philippians 1:6;
James 1:2-4.
5. Best of all, God's Love for His Children as shown
through Christ is FOREVER , Ephesians 3:17-19
If you and I can be mindful of God's thought toward us as the truth of who we are. Make a list, writing each one down, and reading it several times a day. Maybe God's thoughts, (those "Affections Above") will take over the downcast earthly thoughts and keep us not only safe, but fill our hearts with the fruit of the Spirit,
"Love, Joy, Peace...", Galations 5:22,23.
A change of heart, thoughts, and actions is not so simplistic as this. But over time with prayer,(both alone and collectively) discipline, and courage, another step on the journey to Recovery may become a reality.
