I Am a Deep Thinker

Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For everything in the world - the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does - comes not from the Father but from the world. —1 John 2:15-16

I confess that my eyes and my heart are often distracted by the worldly stuff that is temporary. It's so easy to think they will make us happy or fill the empty places in our hearts.

Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. —Psalm 1:1-2

We all fall short.. there is a world of difference between being temporarily tempted and "walk in the counsel" or "stand in the way" or "sit in the seat" .. we all are tempted and sometimes fall..
Also.. there is nothing wrong with creature comforts.. except when we put them in the place if God..
When I start to think worldly stuff will make me happy I'm heading off on the wrong path.. I am beginning to walk in the way of the wicked..

Thank you for sharing this.. 🌹

That's why I hate the world and the people in it so the "Father" doesn't feel less loved.

@Daniel031 Not loving the world doesn’t necessarily mean hating it. It implies no attachment to the world. If you hate the world, there is still attachment, although in a negative way but it’s still there. Not loving or hating, not affected by the world.
