Our beings were created to receive and give love. That is our design. Anything outside of that—anything contrary—breaks us. Sin, for instance, was never meant for us. It wasn't made for the human soul. It shatters us from the inside out.
We were never meant to live in fear, or frustration. These emotions stir chaos within our systems, making us sick—mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and even physically.
Think of a vehicle. It’s designed to run on a specific kind of oil. Use the wrong oil, and you damage the engine. It may still move, but not for long. It begins to wear down. Malfunction. Breakdown.
We were made in love, for love. So what went wrong?
Somewhere along the way, we veered off course. We took a path that wasn’t meant for us. And the further we traveled that path, the more lost we became. We drifted farther and farther from the original blueprint—the original purpose.
What went so wrong that our eyes became blinded and our hearts corrupted?
We need cleansing—deep cleansing—before new oil can be poured into us. Fresh oil will never reach the areas corroded by the old. The residue of sin blocks renewal. It robs us of our identity. It distorts our vision. We begin to see through the lens of brokenness and bondage. Sin's goal is to keep us from even recognizing that we’re lost. It whispers lies until we believe them as truth.
We don’t even realize that something’s wrong.
What went wrong, that we can’t even see the wrong?
We’ve lived in this mess for so long that it's become our normal. Dysfunction has become familiar. Darkness has become comfortable. But this isn’t who we are. This isn't who we were created to be.
It’s time to return. To realign. To rediscover love—true love. The kind that heals, restores, and makes whole.
