We Weren't Meant To Be Independent

Since the way we were born, we've been taught to be independent. All our parents taught us to eat without anyone's help, or to walk without having to hold on to anyone. Our parents one day let us go to face the world and be independent!

It's the way society lives. They actually think we have to be independent.

They are wrong!

We are not meant to be independent! We shouldn't be independent! Why?

Because being independent means to actually live with our own strengths thinking we can do everything by ourselves. And we are wrong! We can't do anything by ourselves. Not even breathe!

Jesus knew that. Jesus lived on earth knowing he couldn't do anything by himself. Imagine, not even Jesus could do anything independently, then how could we?

So Jesus explained, “I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by himself. He does only 

what he sees the Father doing. Whatever the Father does, the Son also does." (John 5:19 NLT)

He consciously knew that He couldn't do anything without God. Jesus depended on God 24/7!

How can we do that? How can we live depending on God 24/7 after we've been taught almost our whole lives to be independent?

There isn't a secret formula for this to happen. Have in mind that we didn't learn how to walk in 1 week. It took time, until it happened and it became a habit. We don't think about "how to walk" anymore. It comes naturally.

The same way will happen with God!

Talk to God, have a real relationship with Him and while time passes by, the dependence on God will come naturally.

Distracted In Life?

Honestly I've been trying to think about what I was going to write about today, but I'm so distracted.

My thoughts are distracting me and I think my phone isn't helping either.

It's so hard to think straight when you're thinking of a lot of things at once. Like right now I'm thinking about:

• What I'm going to tell my best friend tomorrow.
• Should I go to college?
• Why is my friend taking so long to answer my kik?
• What am I really trying to say in this blog post?
• Why do I keep writing about stuff I'm thinking about?

We easily get distracted with the simplest things and loose focus. Loose focus of what really is important. 

Like Jesus!!

We loose focus on Jesus. We get so distracted with the things in this world, and sometimes we don't stop and just focus our heart and mind on the One Who Is In Us (if you accepted Jesus in your heart). 

    We should always depend on God, but the sad truth is... We don't. We don't depend on God when we brush our teeth or when we walk or even when we eat. Because all our life our parents have been trying to teach us that we should be independent. They taught us how to walk, brush our teeth and eat by ourselves.

    Well, it's time to start learning again, but this time being dependent on God with everything we do. Sure, it's not easy but lets take it step by step. 

Don't let the world distract you. Focus on the One and Only, Jesus Christ/God/the Holy Spirit.

Feel free to comment below, what area of your life you can start being dependent on God?
