It is not wrong and not bad or sin, it is just what has been placed in the core of who we are meant to be. Now after you have accepted this truth you can come before your Creator and ask him to fulfill this needs like only he can do!
He is the one who created you and only he knows exactly how and what you need. We were created for meaning, significance and purpose. Even in the Garden of Eden where it all started, God already entitled the first human being and gave him meaning, sense and purpose for his existence.
He had an occupation a position a title. There is nothing wrong with this, it is not pride. Real humility is not to beat yourself down, slap your head and not realize who you are in Christ and wandering around with your head down saying: “Oh poor me, I am nothing and no one.” This is actually hidden pride! And it is like you make God a liar! Because you stand against what he says you are!
I am alive with Christ!
(Ephesians 2:5)
I am free from the law of sin and death!
(Romans 8:2)
I am far from oppression, and fear does not come near me!
(Isaiah 54:14)
I am born of God, and the evil one does not touch me!
(1 John 5:18)
I am holy and without blame before Him in love!
(Ephesians 1:4; 1 Peter 1:16)
I have the mind of Christ!
(1 Corinthians 2:16; Philippians 2:5)
I have the peace of God that passes all understanding!
(Philippians 4:7)
I have the Greater One living in me; greater is He Who is in me than he who is in the world!
(1 John 4:4)
I have received the gift of righteousness and reign as a king in life by Jesus Christ!
(Romans 5:17)
Acknowledge and know who you are and who God is. That he is Potter and you are the clay!
Now it is important how you deal with your desires, needs and longings and who you turn to.
Because of the fallen Nature of Mankind and because we live in a fallen World and we are born as sinners, because of one man´s disobedience, we are disconnected from the one who called us to be all of that and more. But praise God for Jesus, of one man´s obedience we are made righteous! Through Jesus all sufficient sacrifice on the cross over 2000 years ago, we can now be reconciled to God and our life becomes full of joy and purpose. We are called to rule and reign in and through him who was, is and is to come, Jesus Christ - the Christ, the Savior, the Messiah!
A need and desire that is not met or fulfilled can become very dangerous because, it will lead you to desperate behavior and an unhealthy, unbalanced lifestyle especially without God in your life. It will lead you to destruction. Without God our life is empty and meaningless. We are lost and desperate, empty.
We will always try to fill us with things or people that cannot meet our deepest longings because this is not what they or we were created to do!
This is when we become self-centered, egoistic and selfish. When we live a life without God, we will live a life without meaning, we can only leave our good prints if we walk in and through the one who gave his all for us.
He gave his life on that cross of Golgotha. He gave his life for a reason. He gave his life for you and me. He gave his life for the forgiveness of our sins and to be reconciled with our heavenly father.
We are now as born again spirit filled believers and followers of Jesus Christ:
- Forgiven - Righteous - Justified - Saved- Holy -
Forever changed in an instant by one sacrifice and our decision to receive his free gift of salvation!
Definition: Justification means to set something right, or to declare righteous.
Definition: Righteousness is the state of moral perfection required by God to enter heaven.
Definition: Forgiven as so as we have never sinned. Past, present and future sin cancelled forever.
"So the law was put in charge to lead us to Christ that we might be justified by faith."
Galatians 3:24
"Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God's wrath through him!" Romans 5:9
"Through him everyone who believes is justified from everything you could not be justified from by the law of Moses." Acts 13:39
"Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God's sight by the works of the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin."
Romans 3:20
"He has destroyed what was against us, a certificate of indebtedness expressed in decrees opposed to us. He has taken it away by nailing it to the cross."
Colossians 2:14
"Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God's wrath through him!"
Romans 5:9
Your value, worth and Identity is not depending on your circumstances or things nor people. God created you with value and you are precious to him - he really loves you and yes, just as you are. You will never experience a deeper and profounder love then God´s Love for you. No man, no woman no human being or animal could or will ever love you with the everlasting Love, like he does. He longs for a very personal, individual and deep relationship with you.
Religion is dead. Religion is the attempt to please and reach God and salvation, but real faith in God is a loving and real relationship to the living God. He is not dead. The Bible is not a rules and law book, but a LOVE LETTER to those who believe. Religion really is the opposite of what God is and intended it to be. Because he is alive or better he IS life! He is the source of all life.
“Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.”
Matthew 10:31
“For this is what the LORD Almighty says: "After the Glorious One has sent me against the nations that have plundered you--for whoever touches you touches the apple of his eye.”
Zechariah 2:8
We are called to encourage and lift up and praise each other. We are called to care for each other and carry the burden with our brothers & sisters . We are called to love one another like he loves us. We are called to tip each other off to who we really are!
We are called to cry, laugh, sing, dance together.
“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”
John 13:34-35
"Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing."
1. Thessalonians 5:11
"Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near."
Hebrews 10:23-25
“Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.”
Galatians 6:2
“[Suffering for Doing Good] Finally, all of you, be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble.”
1 Peter 3:8
It is the same thing with the need in us to worship something or someone. We are born this way. God put a whole in us that only he can satisfy and a desire to worship. When we meet God we know that we were created to worship him.
