For a long time, I found myself very addicted to Facebook. I went there everyday, every hour, and so on looking for some type of affirmation. I went searching for answers, validation, and ultimately my identity. I had to come back often because what I did get was empty. It was not real. Though I could see it, it was lifeless. Though it was tangible in my hands, it didn't really exist. Then it hit me, I was going to the wrong well. Jesus promised if we would come to us He would give us the ever satisfying drink. In Him, I would never be hungry or thirsty to find out who I am. I am taking steps to get up and turn away from this lifeless well. It is hard, sometimes, not to turn back and look for the affirmations of my peers. As good as they may feel, they can and have quickly turned into rejections. In Christ alone, I am always affirmed, loved, and fully known.
