inconsolable secrets asked: I’m struggling with God being the only thing that satisfies me. I see myself being content in God in every way except that my love language is affection, so all I’ve ever wanted is someone to hold my hand, and hug me tight, but God is not physically gonna kiss my forehead when I have a bad day. I know one day I’ll be WITH Him and it wont matter, but I feel at odds with Him. The feminist in me says ‘I don’t need no man!’ but I struggle daily with balance in being content in Christ and wanting more.
Unka Glen answered: Well, when it comes to Jesus, you do need that man, as for the rest of us, you’re right to see us as purely optional. There may be some good options out there, but still.
And I understand exactly where you’re coming from on this, I’m a very tactile person myself, and if I were there, I would give you a big ol’ hug until you said, “I canna breef”! (nothing worse than a wimpy hug, in my opinion).
There is a different way of looking at all this, but we’re gonna have to go deep to get there… Think of it like this, imagine that you’re an Oreo cookie (I told you it was gonna get deep). The top part is your body, the bottom part is your spirit, and the creamy filling in between is your mind. Information flows both ways through your mind.
So for example, you realize your body is tense, and that’s because you’re stressed in your mind, so you decide to pray for some peace, which your spirit receives, and then transmits the calming effect of peace to your mind, which in turn causes you to relax your body.
Your mind is where all this travels back and forth, but this creamy filling serves another role: your mind decides what is real. At the beginning of your spiritual journey, you maybe thought of the physical world as the real world, and this whole sprit realm was a bit of a mystical fantasy.
But as you grow forward in your walk, you’re beginning to realize how often your flesh gives you all kinds of bad feedback. If you’re overly sleepy, or a bit sick, or a little hormonal, you start seeing things in a very negative way. The physical world is full of these kinds of illusions and false feedback.
And likewise, as you become more and more in tune with the Spirit, and you begin walking with Him day by day, you begin to sense the hard reality, the ultimate reality, that is the spirit world. Indeed, there comes a point where you transition form seeing yourself as a body with a spirit, and you start seeing yourself as a spirit wearing a fleshly earthsuit, one that’s prone to malfunction, inaccurate feedback, and breaking down over time.
So where am I going with this? If you ask God to communicate through your spirit, into your mind, to give you an image of how He would hold you if He was there physically, then all that’s left, is to recognize that the picture you see in your mind is true. He is holding you now, in the exact way your mind is indicating. This is real. as real as it gets.
Sure, it’s not physical, but you’re much more than a physical being, aren’t you?

If you hurt my friends, you’re an idiot.
where did the stereotype that people who hang out on the internet are unattractive come from my online friends are all babes
