And I know that God is the only one who will never betray me, go back on His word, or lie to me. I think if more people put their absolute trust in God and not in others they would be happier.

We tend to seek the love of others (affirmation) rather than actively love the "other" (compassion). If we are to reflect God's (Trinitarian.. dance-like) love, then we must actively love in the face of resistance (bigotry). God overflows in love (reciprocated or not). It is his essence. What a worshipful witness such love is, as the life (intra/inter-relations) of the church replicates the life of God. :) Peace Good points.

There is no one on this planet that can love you enough to never hurt you or betray you. I know that sounds extreme but it is truth. I am not saying that everyone who loves you will hurt you. Just that they can. I wonder if we really understand that God is the only one who loves us and will never betray, hurt, abandon, or leave us?

I wonder if we really understand that God is the only one who loves us and will never betray, hurt, abandon, or leave us?

Love you

Sonny, your post reminds me of a statement by one of our profs. He said (in reference to the baptism with the Spirit) - "Speaking in tongues may be the 'initial' evidence, but love is the essential evidence." He was speaking in reference to the work of God's sanctifying grace which changes the disposition of hearts (from self-centered love to God-centered love). Jesus said, "By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another" (Jn 13.35 ESV). Blessings Greetings Hin-Tai, our family will keep you in our prayers as you embark upon your first year of university.
