"All these emotions exuded from my eyes and my voice when 'your good Spirit' turned towards us to say: 'Sons of men, how long will you be dull at heart? And why do you love vanity and seek after a lie?'. For I had loved vanity and sought after a lie. And you Lord had already 'magnified your holy one', raisng him from the dead and setting him at your right hand, whence he sent from on high his promise, the Paraclete, the Spirit of truth."
This passage made me realize just how messed up we are in this world. People put their trust in temporary, unreliable things and expect to get great results, we are constantly told by the media that we must be a certain way and live a certain lifestyle. We chase after these things when we should be chasing after Christ. "And why do you love vanity and sek after a lie?" this is so powerful to me.

We all seek fulfillment. People work to fill the God-sized hole in their heart in all sorts of ways. That is why so many people trust in temporary, vain things. They just want to be full.
ReplyDeleteIts very easy to also think we are going after the Father when we really are blinded our own desires. So many times we can be guilty of hypocrisy and strife against the Lord. Truly humbling to realize that.
