I am Independent

"I am independent"

It is the lie we are taught to believe in

as we travel through life;

and as we start 

moving out of our childhood bedroom,

becoming more educated,

and making more money,

it is a lie

we start to believe in.

"I am independent",

because I pay my own bills,

I make my own decisions,

I am my own man.

But what a delusion it is

when

it is not food that gives us nourishment, 

it is not an education that gives us knowledge, 

it is not friends or family that make us feel loved, 

but it is God who does..

even if He does it via 

the food, education, or friends and family 

that He grants us.

"I am independent";

the falseness of this delusion 

lies naked for all to see

at those points in our lives when

we are starving,

ignorant,

or unloved;

and the fragility of the human

body, mind, and heart

is laid bare.

You are not independent.

Where does your dependence lie?
