The more we seek to be affirmed/loved by the world, the more we feel emotional abandonment. Social media likes just do not cut it. There is an immediate feel of someone caring, and then we go back to feeling alone, rejected and abandoned.

There is a reason that God says seek me first (Mathew 6:33). He wants to love on you before you go out into the world that is seeking to love itself.

“Do not withhold Your tender mercies from me, O Lord; Let Your lovingkindness and Your truth continually preserve me.” Psalm 40:11
