Why do we turn to people instead of God?

•People seem more real

•Seem to care more

•Buy into our BS

•They are often willing to give us what we want (what they want), just not always what we need.

•Comfort us when it’s not wise to do so.

But…

•God has unlimited resources, people don’t.

•People quite often operate from fear of: never having enough; being harmed; taken advantage of… God fears nothing and is therefore remains unmoved!

•God loves us so much, and is stable and consistent in HIS ACTIONS to such an extent WE DON’T KNOW WHAT TO MAKE OF HIM. When a parent refuses to bail out a child -the comeback is often “you don’t care about me” manipulation.

Sidenote: The (late fifties) sixties generation that rebelled against the forties generation, and the thirties generation, and the twenties generation… Presumably because of all the pie in the sky portrayals of American life. All the dirty little secrets hidden behind closed doors… I’m looking at a commercial and I don’t see much difference between then and now, if that’s the case. You think people are more real now than they were 80, 90, 100 years ago? You think people are more open about their dirty laundry these days? That is from a humble perspective?
