How bout a reminder from the glorious LORD CHRIST JESUS .
In this world ye shall have TRIBULATION . but do be of good cheer , JESUS OVERCAME IT
HE is our peace . I would not be expecting comfort from the world at all my friend .
ITS a gonna hate true lambs . It always has .
OH here is another reminder from paul concerning comfort .
As our sufferings abound in Christ , WELL SO TOO Do our consolations . SO that no matter what we suffer
we can also console others , COMFORT OTHERS , by the same comfort whereby GOD comforts US .
Dont expect COMFORT from the WORLD . BUT GOD WILL COMFORT US through it all .
We were created to be dependent on divine love. People search for something to replace that in the temporal world...but to no avail. We were created for His purpose. Once we shift the focus away from our purpose onto His...we find our "center." Too much "ego drama" and not enough "God drama" is bad for the soul.
Christ must be the center of our lives whether we walk in our own strength, or else walk in the power of His resurrection life. Of course in the latter we are being carried through life with His eternal power.

Not even close.
It isn't him carrying you. It's him living inside you.
It's the Christ that is conceived IN YOU. He is the word of God. He is the seed of God. He is the son of God.
Spirit gives birth to spirit... IN YOU. You are the soil that the seed grows in.
And what is conceived IN YOU though it begins as the tiniest of seeds, it grows and becomes a mighty tree that the birds of the air nest in.
Learn the key to understanding these things and stop misleading people with your nonsense.

". . . and then he turned to me and said, 'Wait a minute . . . Where was it that you saw TWO sets of footprints?'"
Much love!
I have already posted the key to understanding the parables. You can always look for that thread.
The Ego-centric gospel sees the man in the cited parable as a person reading the bible, declaring themselves "born-again", and in so doing becoming immunized to the truth at any real depth..and consequently will resist any motion towards going to God for His grace. The soil in that scheme is the outer religious man. The seed is the assumption and presumption that claims eternal things with a temporal mind. The birds are the crows that flock to the dead carrion that they feed on.
The Christ-centric gospel sees the man as God who plants a garden in the world. The Seed is Christ and the tree is the tree of life. The birds are the saints, now freed from the cage of the outer man who nest in habitations prepared for them (John 14).
We need to see the parables away from a self-serving agenda. No man can plant a seed of the kingdom. No one comes to the Father unless drawn there by Christ. And no one comes to Christ unless the Father draw him. They both share One Spirit.
The parable you cited is akin to another parable that depicts God as a man found in Luke 12.
"A certain man planted a vineyard, and set an hedge about it, and digged a place for the winefat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, ..."
I think you need to realize that I am a mirror here.

You need to realize you are a resounding gong, a clanging cymbal and broken record.
You live in an echo-chamber of your own design. You think you are a mirror, because you only consider yourself. I don't think I've ever met anyone so self-obsessed.
We all begin our physical lives here as a helpless child. Without our parents we could do nothing. As we got older we developed a means to cope with, and even thrive in, this world. We tend toward independence.
How strange then to be told by the Lord to go back to our helpless state..being made vulnerable in the world...as sheep among wolves. Unless we be converted as children. Without Christ we can do nothing? Only as we surrender the experienced outer man...our interface with the world that has been developing since we first cried out for our mother....can we enter INTO Christ. Our vessels must be emptied of the flesh before God can pour His Spirit into us.
Being eternally minded means a self-abnegation that seeks no other comfort other than what God sends to us by His Spirit. In our independent state we tend to find comfort for ourselves. But doing that foregoes the need to seek God for His Comforter.

Its the Spirit of God that declares that the Believer has become a "new creation in Christ'.... "born again".... "made righteous", as "the rightesness of God in Christ".
See, the believer is born again spiritually by the Spirit of God (Holy Spirt) into God.....who is "A Spirit"
The born are "in Christ"< and = "Christ IS THAT Spirit".
The Born again are declared righteous by the One who caused it, = not of yourself.
Our Eternal Salvation, (Redemption) ... which is to have received "the Gift of Righteousness"< is not of ourselves....its "The GIFT of Salvation"., that is our Eternal Life
How do we get it?
Jesus said... "All that BELIEVE in Me.. I Give unto them....Eternal Life, and they (the believer born again) shall never go to Hell (perish)".

Yes, we all need Gods love
God loved us so much he died for us. so we could be made alive and be freed from the wage of sin.
If your not saved, You can not experience Gods love. You are under Gods wrath.

Absolutely True.
John 3:36

Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.
Berean Standard Bible
Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life. Whoever rejects the Son will not see life. Instead, the wrath of God remains on him.”

There are 3 stages of spiritual identity. We are first born as a child in the presence of God. It is an unaware state of God conciousness. Secondly we then slowly we become accustomed to the world and find our place within the ego. Most people stay trapped within the ego and try to re live their childhood years. This is what we call a mid life crisis. However going backwards will never work. Very few make it through to the last stage which is an "aware" state of God conciousness. It is the first and last stage.
That seems more like human identity. Spiritual identity has to be in comparison to the life that is in Christ.
Have you experienced eternal consciousness through the new birth of Christ?

Ah, but before we are saved, it's God's love that draws us to Him.
You might notice that within the body of his inner-self-originated psychobabble— no scriptural support. And you might also have noticed that in all his many pages about the key… no key.
Amen. God calls sinner to repentance, and draws the righteous into the higher walk. Jesus didn't come to call the righteous to repentance....those that are well don't need a doctor.
