love in the world today

i was just reading posts from friends' blogs.
what really struck me was that half the blogs i visited were about emotional disappointment.
feelings are not reciprocated, hearts are broken and the like.

someone once asked me "Elisa, where do you think you find security?"

"people." i answered after some time, knowing and preparing myself for what she was going to ask next.
"what if they all go away?" she questioned, as i had expected.

that conversation was held at a point in time where i was slightly insecure.

someone ELSE told me and has been reminding me that my security should come from the Lord. God is my comfort. Jesus should me the one i depend on, even for emotional needs. not him.

and i guess a lot of people have yet to learn that depending on one person who is as fallible as they are is not wise.

im still learning to depend on God. it's a constant process i suppose.. constant dependence, constant re-focus on the One who made, loves and saved us.
