A little reality can't hurt

The main purpose of life is love. Relationships with people. This includes our Father, the creator. People should be using their circumstances to better know God and to know people. The opposite, what much of the world does, is use people (including God) to better their circumstances.

This is backwards. You must subject your circumstances to your relationships, and not the other way around. People, loving people, God included, is more important than having what we want. We must be willing to suffer, to do without, to live in what is less than our ideal for the sake of relationships. Relationships come first.

wanting good circumstances is fine. Wanting what you want is fine. Pursuing what you want is fine. Until you have to use somebody else to get it. AT THAT POINT, it becomes sin. Up to that point, it is simply being human. Which is fine.

Love will always benefit you at my expense. I will do without what I want if I have to use you, manipulate you, or hurt you to get it. Because YOU are more important than me getting what I want.

The goal of life is RELATIONSHIPS. This is why we were created. This is what we will be doing for eternity. Subject your circumstances to your relationships, that you might not miss out on the main purpose of being alive!
