When we work really hard to keep false pretenses up and feel something that is not real, we are working to sustain what is urgent and weak which the bible says will be consumed by the fire and storms (trials) we will encounter in life. When difficult moments come too many of us tend to crumble and fall apart before we can find some sort of footing to stand on. Often we choose to begin facing the difficult moment by first running around looking for crutches, like things and others, outside of us to find the answers. When we do this we show that we are not really aware where our true origin is and whose we are hence why we look for answers and comfort outside of us.
We need to understand that our body comes from the dust on the ground but our true identity (being) comes from God. When we look outside for the answers we are very likely choosing to let our life begin from our mind where of course we are only able to see and believe that our being began when we were born and the true source of our life is therefore the dust on the ground. Instead when we look to the King and Kingdom within us for answers, we are choosing to let our life begin from our heart from where we will be able to understand that our being and beginnings originated in God way before our mom and dad had sex so our life in this planet could begin nine months later (Ephesians 1:4)
Remember today that often what begins within the mind is illusional, false, and limited whereas what begins from the heart is real, true, and eternal…and that includes yourself and your faith!
