Man suffers from dis ease when his heart is needy. And needs comfort. But this is not the only reason. There is a Holy dis ease that is healthy. Those times are an indicator that things or somethings are not right. If we have no alarms in our systems to tell us when things are not right Spiritually or physically then we are in real trouble.
Medicine is good for physical treatment of pains and aches. But if we never get to the source of the problem then such medicine does more harm than good. Medicinal cures are hard to come by. And they come with much study by people who say they are smarter than I am.
My mother often tells me there is a difference between book knowledge and applicable knowledge that one can use. So that brings me to my point. Comfort comes when people relate to a situation that is common or known by them. Our Christian bible has many words of comfort in it. But some divorce it from the context. An awesome God wants to help us navigate through this life. With the knowledge that He this God cares about everything that concerns us.
Our faults and our fears are known to Him and He still cares. But how does this God communicate this to us. As far as I am concerned His chief method is through other people. And if our relationships with others are affected then our ability to receive Love from God is severely hampered. Especially if that is our way of receiving Love from God.
Christians can relate to what I am saying in this post. But if your main way of hearing your god is through yourself or works that you do yourself, then you cannot. Cults work by cutting you off from your family unit that is God chief way of showing that He is working in your life. And then replacing God with a false relationships that continue to feed on keeping you cut off from your Godly social unit.
How should a person who find themselves in this situation get out of it? Ask God to repair the breach between you and your family He God is the only one who can help.
Some in the Christian church act like people of other faiths who practice isolation when they give in to an offense against another Christian or non Christian brother or sister. So the answer is forgiving each other and moving on.
