so, desperation blinds us. a girl desperate for guy attention throws herself on guys not seeing who he actually is and what he is after. Guys desperate for girl attention do the same. this isn't just a flaw in relationships, it is a flaw in everything we pursue. money, fame, careers, sex, even family, religion, everything. This is why christianity is so unique and so, oh so strange. come up with an example other than jesus that doesn't blind us when we are obbsessed with it? i can't think of any and believe me i have tried.

When you are constantly pursue Jesus and growing in him, my obsession with Him has not blinded me, rather it has opened my eyes. Not just opened them to my own self, rather how i see everyone has changed and i am more capable to love them. The obsession with Jesus does not make me exclusive, like other obsessions and relationships. An obsession with Jesus opens you up to everyone. This is why the obbsession is so strange. Usually if you are obsessed, you have less time for other things, rather, i find that as i grow more in Jesus, i have more time and emotions for others. It creates more in me.

Growing in Jesus is to become united with the one who created everything. The only way to have any originality or original thought is to be united with the one who can create. Sin can only distort and misuse what He already created. Jesus is strange. the more i grow in him, the more confused and in love i become with him.
