We have many expectations; of loved ones, friends and others that are not always satisfied. Sometimes they are not even recognized. With these expectations are limitations based on the fact that we are living in a world of chaos, individualism, convenience and self preservation, where the love of many has waxed cold. Outside of that worldly realm is a greater place of comfort; that is in order, with a priority of love call the Kingdom of heaven. That is the only place we find those elements of life, in which we really need. The understanding, comfort, attention, and encouragement, we get without having to beg or plead. By abiding in the super natural, Alpha and Omega, we have access to the very best. The Father's only begotten son Jesus Christ, the savior, and answer to every question in life.
In Christ we experience a life filled with spiritual fruit and blessings of awesome light, to brighten the darkest night. A light in which we must focus on in order to see. This is what we all need, because we are living in a time where the enemy is trying to get whomever he can to deceive and blind so that we are held captive and no longer free.
I've been lost in my life several times and I know there is some soul suffering that goes on when you're spiritually blind. The darkness is incomprehensible and only gets dimmer while piercing ones spirit with much rejection, hatred and disappointment. It's aim is to kill, steal and destroy all truth and anything that has to do with love. Knowing our God is a consuming fire made up of love. We should be encouraged to follow his lead in the way that brings joy, peace, hope, and contentment into each day. Through Christ, there is no other way.

You can be in the midst of millions and all alone, despite how many people we may think we have in our life. We're in the middle of a spiritual warfare and there are things out there that only God can take care of. Therefore be ware and abide in the one who takes care better than any one else out there!
It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man (Psalm 118:8). If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you (John 15:7).
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding (Proverbs 3:5).
Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee (Deuteronomy 31:6).
And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. I will not leave you
comfortless: I will come to you (John 14: 16-18).
Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life (John 8: 12).

Spiritual Perspective
Have you ever wondered how the rest of the world sees you or how the people you love view you? That is, as an individual outside the role you play in their lives? I know I have. I've even went so far as to observe and view the profile results; some of which I wouldn't dare change or touch. We all have a tendency to care simply because we have a connection we view as love or some other agenda. We may even think of it as vital and important, because there may be some influence that contributes or take away from the position and role that we are in.
A lot of what we find , may give us a great sense of dignity, respect, and honor, maybe even disappointment, anguish and rejection; based on what we've discovered or uncovered. Taking a good look at how others actually see you can be a revelation that causes separation outside of righteous perspective, which can plant seeds of deception and grief something no one needs.
Ultimately we must be able to see through the eyes of the spirit. Not just any spirit but the spirit of love that does not condemn, hate, fear, or destroy. It would be to ones advantage to abide in Christ, in reference to all life. A saviour who can intercede on our behalf. Who is concerned about that which will last. Moving forward with and in the fruits of the spirit all because he is a part of it. I personally choose to view myself from God's perspective. This too is one of the many blessings God gives to each of us who are willing to receive it.
One thing I've learned in this journey of life as I strive to follow Christ is that; my life is not made up of or determined by the perspective any one person has of me. My life is one given by God as a gift, including the spiritual eyes to see. I made a choice to give my life back to God some time ago. In doing so, I've been given another opportunity to be all I can be as a new creature born again of the spirit with him as the King, Captain, Master and Counselor of the life I live.
Of course, I've faced many trials and tribulations in the process, just as I did before I made that commitment. The difference is I have joy in my heart regardless of the circumstance or situation. I can love, I can forgive and endure. I can also go to him for comfort and all of the necessities I need to reside on this earth and know he won't fail me or turn his back on me when I fall.
He sees me as I am, and loves me beyond a shadow of a doubt and knows exactly what I'm all about. He doesn't see me based on the things I have. The mistakes I've made, what I've said or have not said. He knows my heart; every detailed desire and it is only he who can take me higher. I can share my intimate details with him without physical or emotional risk. From the beginning to the end of each day, my joy is so fulfilled, all I can do is give him the glory, honor and praise.
It's time we all recognize the importance of having God in our life. Not only for life eternal, but also because of the precious jewels he gives for us to use while on this earth as instruments or tools to operate in a world system destined to loose. We must be a member of the body of Christ with a personal relationship above all others in which we discover spiritual strength, love, truth, understanding, peace, and hope that is heaven sent. A source of all in all, restoration, deliverance, healing, guidance and direction for every relationship we participate in.
It is a known fact that the things of this world are temporal and without substance. Our focus and concentration needs to go deeper than that because we're living in the last generation of time calling for a renewal of the mind. Let us all go in depth with reality and truth by following Christ in all that we do. Knowing he is concerned, not only about you. But those you prefer he wouldn't choose. So take some time and find out who he really is. What type of man was he while he walked in the flesh as you and I do? Remember Jesus Christ gave his life. Ate with the tax collectors and sinners, also said to those ready to stone the woman caught in adultery. "He who is without sin cast the first stone." None did. He told her "neither shall I." Following Christ; I too say " neither shall I "
(John 8: 1-11)"
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God (Ro. 12:2).
Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever (1Peter 1:23).
Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless (2 Peter 3:14).
And he turned him unto his disciples, and said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see: For I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them (Luke 10:23-24).
Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment (John 7:24). I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me (John 5:30).
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death (Romans 8: 1-2).
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father (Romans 8:14-15).
