Manna from lunch

The I suppose the reason we keep going back to unhealthy patterns or people ISNT because we aren't aware those things are unhealthy. 

But it's because as humans we are inherently seeking affirmation and security. 

That's not a bad thing- we are born as babies in this way for survival, and though we grow and develop its still our hard-wiring.

 

It's not enough to acknowledge patterns and people are not good for us. 

We need to behold something greater, something that gives us hope and purpose and makes us come alive. And use that as the hope

For pressing toward comfort and security. 

We need something that TOTALLY trumps those people and repels us from joining them, and makes the glory of those attractive patterns fade away. Some may use faith as their greater glory to behold. I utterly depend on Jesus. 

Some may call it a project, which I use also. 

Some may call it a set of friends they want to invest in. I use this too. 

Once we behold something greater, it wont be effort to leave behind the things wrong for us. It will be so natural to say no because our heart wants and strive for the things that are right and provide such a better way. 

My musing eating lunch today. That is all.
