God is binding. As we take a close look at our lives there are many things that we find necessary for our survival. These we would consider our basic needs. Above that would be the things we want and desire but are not necessary. We have an essential element that is inherent in our being and that is of love. It is the driving force of the universe. It is the one piece of life that would unbind us if it were not there. It is not often thought of as a necessary for survival because we are not talking about survival. We are talking about the makings of life. If there is no life, there is nothing which has needs. Our essential nature created from God is one of love. It is the expression of who we are, it is what propels the continuation of life, and it is the element that binds us to God. All the true needs in my life are measured by their role in maintaining my essential nature.
My prayer for us is the courage to begin to balance our needs by those that keeps us in touch with our essential nature today.
If God designed us out of love for love, what needs might serve the growth of your essential nature today? Share in the comments.
