God-Sized Need
When we bring God size needs to another human, they cannot possibly succeed to fill that need. When you have a source of life, you are a source of life.
Our source of life has to be God. If you rely on humans for life, you will always be disappointed because a human can’t satisfy a God sized need.
When there is scarcity of a source of life, desperation will set in and desperation can easily become exploitation of others. You will be tempted to use people to try to get your sense of self validated.
You will become a sucker of life rather than a giver of life, and this is how toxic relationships are born.
Run to God when you are in need of validation. Go read Psalms 55:22 that talks about giving your burdens to the Lord and that he will not the let the godly slip and fall. God wants us to give our burdens to him, but often we continue to bear them ourselves, even when we say, we are trusting in him.

In today's fast-paced world, many individuals often seek validation from others, which can lead to disappointment and unhealthy relationships. It's crucial to remember that only God can fulfill our deepest needs. When we look to humans for what only God can provide, we set ourselves up for failure. In moments of desperation, we may inadvertently exploit relationships, using others to validate our self-worth. Instead, turning to God for support not only alleviates our burdens but also cultivates healthier connections with those around us. The Bible offers profound insights on this topic, particularly in Psalms 55:22, where we are encouraged to cast our cares on the Lord. By submitting our needs and frustrations to God, we acknowledge His role as our ultimate source of life and love. This act of surrender frees us from the need to control our relationships and encourages us to become givers of life, not takers. Building a strong spiritual foundation can transform our interactions, making them more meaningful and fulfilling. Remember, when we find our validation in God's love, we can nurture relationships that are rooted in genuine respect and understanding, rather than desperation.
