Realize that every person is a target of his bankruptcy.
God made you as a vessel that overflows with what is beautiful. Because of this, you are a target. Be careful. Every part of you that is empty of God is filled with the “nothing” that describes this world. Without God-filled confidence you are vulnerable to pride. Being filled with His Spirit brings intimacy, and being barren of the same breeds codependence. God is love, and lust fills the void of His absence. You will be filled either with Everything or with nothing. The only way to discern the difference is to know Him.
One day this world will say, “Did you really think I could love you?”
Do not be taken in.
