Being attached more deeply to human beings than we should brings discouragement. Attaching ourselves to Christ will help us love people as we should but never make them our everything.
No human being can be for us what Christ is, our Savior, our helper, and our teacher. He is everything all at once living inside of the born-again believer forever.
Ephesians 1:13-14
"13 In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation—having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of the promise,
14 who is a first installment of our inheritance, in regard to the redemption of God’s own possession, to the praise of His glory."
When we have His love and companionship we have everything we need and we know what our future holds, an eternity with Him in a place we cannot possibly imagine for its wonder and beauty.
Acts 2:33
"Exalted, then, to the right hand of God, He has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit and has poured out what you now see and hear."
Galatians 3:14
"He redeemed us in order that the blessing promised to Abraham would come to the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit."
