Seek Him Only

Tough Love

Stop expecting people to do God's job

The Holy Spirit encourages

Humans demands it

***

They are supposed to be Christ-like

Not a replacement for the cross, right?

***

God's love ain't tough

But it still toughens you up

That tough love other people give will soften your spirit down

Take the willingness to fight away

And leave bitterness where hope and courage should stay

***

Stop seeking the words God has spoken to you from someone else

Because you just want pity

Just in hopes to hear someone say ‘its gonna be okay’

Just to hear someone say ‘you got this

Words you already know

***

But don't be disappointed when they don't say it

And they say ‘toughen up

You're crying for no reason at all

That line can either help you or put you in a deeper hole

Don’t be blinded away from God's truths by the devil's lies

Or by the people who try to help you

Listen to what He is telling you

***

They say go to Him first

Try going to Him only

Because that's where peace lies

Not on Instagram

Not on TikTok

Not in games

Not through friends

Not through families

But in Christ and Christ alone
