What are three objects you couldn’t live without?

View all responses

The common definition of the word object is “a material thing that can be seen or touched.” However, there is another definition of object as well: ‘a person or thing to which a specified action or feeling is directed, as in ‘the object of investigation.'” I’m using the second definition.

The object of my life’s investigation involves three mysterious and invisible people who I can’t live without. They are the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Of all the choices available to me I choose to seek to make those mysterious Three In One, The Creator Of The Universe, the source of my choices.

People have the choice of choices. Throughout each day we can choose what we want, or we can choose what God wants for us. However, most of the time most of our choices are based on choosing what we want.

Rather than choosing to be guided by the promptings of God’s Spirit within us (the leading of His still small voice in our conscience), we become dead to hearing from God. Instead of being led by His presence we choose to be led by our own desires, feelings, and opinions.

As human beings we become captivated to choosing the cravings of our human nature. Rather than choosing to always align with the life of God at work within us, we attempt self-justify our self-focused choices by our analysis and rationalizations of the knowledge of good and evil.

I can’t live without the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. They literally keep me alive. When I choose to be separated from them, even for an instant, I walk away from the tree of life and flirt with death. I long for the day when I only choose to do the will of The Three In One no matter what the circumstances. My only hope for that day is “Christ in you, the hope of glory.”
