People seem to always want to find answers in other people. They want quick answers to their problems, they need to be reassured, they need to follow someone who seems to have all the answers. In this world were everything is about image, were we seem to zap from one style to another, from one relation to the other, from one goal to the other; it is hard to understand that the One who has to guide your life is invisible and needs your complete attention and for you to lean on Him only for answers. Many passage of the Bible tell us not to trust men, tell us about false prophets. The Bible is complete and cannot be reinvented for a certain prophets purpose. Accept its wisdom and see it as a finish work by our Holy God.
The Lord Jesus Christ is the perfect solution to the rampant narcissism that is the cancer of our society. He lived a sinless life, filled with love, selflessness, obedience to his Father that ended with the greatest sacrifice humanity will ever see : the absolution of our sins through his own death on the cross. The most amazing gift of all was given to us : eternal life.
Narcissistic people need to live by and for an image. An image has two dimensions, which explains why narcissist people do not have any insights or deepness of thought. It is the opposite of love. The Lord and the Holy Spirit can change you and show you what love really is.

Ego vs Heart
An Ego is a good thing to waste. Some would say it divides us, it blinds us, it desires; its thirst is never quenched. It is all very true. The reason is that most people's ego is immature, it leads us into addictions and into unwise routes. It is mostly filled with pseudo love, frustrations, wounds and more than anything else in our society : narcissism.
Everybody heard about narcissism. It is the root of all psychological illnesses. The simplest image of what narcissism is would be to say it is a colorful thin layer , with mirror like quality, that covers the crust of our personality which is our Ego. It gives us the illusion of self importance and power. It is a dangerous psychological sickness. Everybody knows sociopathic and psychopathic personalities narcissistic tendencies; this ability they have to see someone has a "tool to an end" and nothing more. It is the sterilization of love.
It seems that the Ego makes us prisoners of desires, wounds and narcissism. Some people strive their whole life trying to solve the issues created by their own Ego; or better they lay down in the mud of their own narcissism and perceive it as gold. Let's not lose our sanity and freedom over that little crust that covers the core of our personality.
Let's put aside the ego for a moment. What is our heart made of? Why talk of the heart, while Psychologists talk in length about our poor suffering ego?
The heart enables us to be in contact with the world and be of service to the world with our own God given talents. It is the drive that helps build and create a real peace and does not lead into destructive or enslaving behaviors. Our heart is the root of freedom and of the absence of discrimination. It makes us understand we are not complete, that we are sinners and leads us in the arms of Jesus Christ, our savior.It creates a need of unity as well as a need for individual growth that goes beyond boundaries of an empty and sin glorifying liberal society . It enables us to develop at our full potential and be gold mines for the world and more importantly for God.
God has created us to be free and love each other and our heart was the gift from God to achieve this. Our heart is the link to Christ and to God who will protect us against our persecutors.
"The heart of a fool is in his mouth, but the mouth of the wise man is in his heart." A Quote by one of the founding fathers of the nation Benjamin Franklin
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Proverbs 3 5-6
A sound heart is life to the body, But envy is rottenness to the bones. Proverbs 14:30
We all have been hurt and it is our heart that has been hurt at all time. Our feelings of abandonnment and betrayal, or disrespect and the opression and agression done toward us is incalculable.
The only way to free ourselves from these injustices is forgiveness. It is the only tool and the most powerful one you could ever find. Once you accomplish this task you will feel real power, great lucidity and a deep inner sense of liberty and a feeling of lightness. Never forgiving is accepting to be chained to the events and/or people that gave you pain.
The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong. Mahatma Gandhi quote.
And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins. Mark 11:25
Our Heart is our fortress, created by God. Forgive, love and share, and you will live into a light that will never fade.
May God bless you and your family
