Obsession in oneself

“… Obsession with self in these matters is a dead end; attention to God leads us out into the open, into a spacious, free life. Focusing on the self is the opposite of focusing on God. Anyone completely absorbed in self ignores God, ends up thinking more about self than God. That person ignores who God is and what he is doing. And God isn’t pleased at being ignored... With his Spirit living in you, your body will be as alive as Christ’s!”Romans 8:5-8, 9-11 MSG

Absorbed and obsessed with oneself is like being absorbed and obsessed with a brownie; self quickly gobbles it up, and digestion begins, which ends, as we know, into a certain darkness,  (pardon the visual - 💩💩💩 - LOL).

However, being absorbed and obsessed with Jesus is like being a newborn baby; self takes a deep breath of new life and begins to experience a fresh new energy of really wanting to live – and wanting to live to the fullest.

God and God alone

"Your salvation requires you to turn back to me and stop your silly efforts to save yourselves. Your strength will come from settling down in complete dependence on me..." 

Isaiah 30:15-17

Give up on and stop trying every man-made effort to save yourself, it isn't working, and it is time to turn to God.  Let him direct you in guidance on what you can do in your might,  who you can trust with the correct information,  and when to seek the guidance and ability to heal and help you - mentally, physically, emotionally.  

Until then, seek Him and HIM alone.  He will lead you to victory; He will lead you to salvation; He will lead you to healing; He will, He alone, will not fail you - EVER!
