People were created to be loved. Things were created to be used. The reason the world is in chaos is because things are being loved and people are being used. Unknown
Today's quote is put really well. Whoever "unknown" is they said it perfectly. When we put things (jobs, financial gain, big people toys, electronics, success, etc etc) ahead of people and use those people to get those things then we have thrown our world and the worlds of others into disarray. No thing should be loved more than a person. Things won't love you back, they won't fulfill you long-term, they won't give you what you are looking for - only people can assist in those pursuits. I say assist because I have personally experienced that only God can truly love you, fulfill you, and give you what you are looking for but he will ask people to participate in your life to accomplish those. :) But I digress...
How does this topic look in your life? Do you place a higher and greater value on people and loving them or does that value get placed on things and people get used? Be honest with yourself and if you realize that you are a user of people and a lover of things then make a choice to switch the two. You won't regret it. After all, how do you feel when you have been used by someone in their pursuit of the love of something? Not so great right?
