Summary: "God is bigger than people, so don't expect to really be satisfied with people, value people based on how much they reflect God and by the fact that they are made in the image of God (Christian or not)"
I was feeling wierd over the last year or so, people weren't satisfying me. It was like a little constant pain all the time when I interacted with them. I couldn't pin it down for a while. I had lots of theories related to specific people and whatnot, but I think I eventually got it.
I wanted to plunge headfirst into a huge pool of goodness - in people. But it wasn't there! I wanted rest, satisfaction, peace, etc, but nobody's perfect like that. No one person can give real rest to your soul.
And that's obvious once you think of it (not before though!). God is bigger than people, duh! So if you ever feel dissatisfied with people, remember that you actually should be, and cling to God instead.
You CAN enjoy people, though. That would be a bummer if you couldn't. Rejoice in what parts of God they reflect (these qualities are actually the ONLY things you should like about people...but expand the qualities of God to include being funny/wierd based on an inner confidence, quietness and waiting on God, etc etc a bunch of stuff that you are supposed to like about people)
Alright, got it?
See you later!
