God told Adam and Eve on the day they eat of the tree 🌳 of the knowledge of good and evil they will surely die ☠. They did not die physically immediately because of the ransom provided by Christ, but they did die in many different ways. They suffered the death of perfect relationships. Relationship with God and between each other broke down
Trust broke down between God and them and distrust between each other became a reality .
Without good, quality relationships in life, life itself becomes a living death. Many people are depressed because they are unable to have quality relationships with anybody. They feel like they can't trust anyone and so they go through life all alone .
It is Satan's goal to destroy relationships. His first goal is to destroy our relationship with God and then destroy our relationship with each other. He does that by causing to do evil to each other so that we are unable to trust each other.
You remember how you were happier as a child? Specially if you had parents who loved you. You were happier because you trusted them, you trusted your young friends, life was less complicated, but as get older things change, we become expose to evil and our trust in each other diminished.
A life without anyone you can trust is a living death ☠. Dictators are paranoid and violent because they can't trust anyone around them, they feel like anyone can become a traitor, so they retreat to themselves, inwardly and their paranoia, depression increase. A living death, so they spread physical death to others .
Friends, the only way to truly enjoy life is by having quality relationship with God first and with each other. Satan is always attacking us, telling us God cannot be trusted, other people cannot be trusted and He does these things so we can be lonely miserable and then He has us where He wants us .
If we want to start living true life, we must reject the idea of always thinking other people are up to no good. We must learn to trust others unless they show otherwise and when they betray our trust, learn to forgive and restore them if they are willing.
We all are humans, prone to making mistakes and we all see life differently, so what you may see as a betrayal may not be seen like that at all in the eyes of the other person. So the only way to maintain long term, quality relationships is to look for the good in orders , communicate with them and forgive them.
Satan's goal is to destroy you, He destroys you by destroying relationships of every type in your life, by making you focus more on the misdeeds of others than on their good traits. If He can get you to think evil of others, of God, He got you .
So friends let us overcome the Devil by drawing near to God in love and near to each other. Let no past betrayal cause you to withdraw from loving people, the more people wrong you, the more you should pray for them and draw nearer to them.
We overcome the miseries of this world by loving people with all their flaws, not by allowing their flaws to separate us. God loves us with all our flaws and it is His love which transform us. Let us share the same with others, let us love them despite their coldness.
Life is all about relationships, a happy life is a life of loving relationships. Let is put away all distrusts and evil surmising, and thinking evil of others, but let us seek to build others up, love them and show them how to love. Lord help me to love others as you have loved me ❤🙏🏾
John 13: 34
Love one another as Jesus loved us .
