The innate desire for affirmation is a fundamental aspect of our human instinct for survival. Regrettably, our society often propagates a narrative that portrays our existence as one of naivety and purity. However, the reality is that every individual yearns to thrive, and due to our inherent flawed nature, we inhabit a world characterized by a constant oscillation between peril and affection. Hence, it is imperative to acknowledge that God's primary priority is to exhibit benevolence towards us, prior to facilitating our personal growth and development.It is a common human tendency to perceive oneself in a positive light, as self-hatred is generally incompatible with psychological well-being. This observation raises perplexity when considering the interpretation of biblical teachings, which emphasize the importance of understanding how God has shaped us and instructs us to effectively address our individual needs. God demonstrates great concern for how we perceive ourselves, which is evident in the Father's emphasis on the Son as the exclusive pathway to Him. This emphasis is rooted in the Son embodying the essence of the Father, leading to the glorification of the Son by the Father.In instances of necessity within the world, the Father presents the Son as the solution. Individuals seek solace in the Father to fulfill their needs, and He emphasizes the elevation of His Son. The attainment of rest is solely attainable through the acknowledgment and exaltation of Christ. By exalting Christ, all aspects fall into alignment. The Divine Being demonstrates a profound preoccupation with preserving His own reputation. Our purpose as human beings is to reflect the qualities and characteristics of the Son, not only by studying His teachings in scripture, but also through our intimate connection with Him, in light of the affectionate love bestowed upon us by our Heavenly Father. This is why the concept of redemption holds far greater magnitude than our limited comprehension can fathom.Due to our belief in God's prioritization of our virtuous actions, we perceive that God, who possesses immeasurable power, benevolence, and loyalty, must approach us in our current state and present us with something that surpasses our comprehension and surpasses our most profound requirements. The current global climate is working towards redefining the concept of divine benevolence. Consequently, individuals struggle to embrace the notion that God's intentions are aligned with our best interests, and that only He possesses the ability to fulfill our needs, even when such fulfillment appears implausible or when it seems that He disregards our trivial materialistic concerns. However, it is essential to acknowledge that God engages with saints in a relatable manner, comparable to the behavior of an earthly father.The Father will only interact with us using limited human abilities and incomplete knowledge. This is the reason why He approaches us in a manner that aligns with their prior promise to treat us with unwavering love. Therefore, no matter the strength of our needs, He will not withhold assistance because His unfailing love represents a perfect form of communication, addressing our shortcomings. Our Father extend eternal support to us, ensuring that we do not become exhausted when seeking His aid to fulfill our needs. As a result of this, the Son is glorified and our needs are satisfied.
