A couple of months ago we took in a little kitten from our street that had been abandoned by its mother. She was still quite young and at first needed to be fed milk from a dropper. Almost immediately, she started a habit that seemed a little strange and funny to us. Whenever she was hungry or needed comfort, she found a carpet, nestled in, and started sucking the carpet fibers. I always felt sorry for her when she did this. Knowing that she was yearning for her mother’s milk and security, she was getting nothing, yet she was comforted in a false sort of way.
I started thinking about the things we find our comfort in that are void of the real comfort that we truly crave….the comfort from the Living God who gives Living Water for our souls. Since moving to Indonesia I have found myself in many situations where I felt like I needed something or someone to make me feel better.
God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort.” —2 Corinthians 1:3 (NLV)

i liked that , i am a believer and i know that sometimes we as humans try to fill out our lives with other things and we forget that we have one thing much more meaningful and important in our lives which is jesus. i received jesus when i was 13 years old and i never repent for that on the contrary i feel blessed for knowing him.
