“My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me.” (Psalm 63:8) Clinging to anyone or anything other than God can get us in trouble really quick. Because clinging to people, things, or experiences is almost always a result of fear. And fear makes us the worst version of ourselves.
We cling to life because we are afraid of death. We cling to others because we’re afraid of being alone. We cling to achievements because we’re afraid of being insignificant. We cling to affirmation and compliments because we’re afraid of being worthless. We cling to attention and affection because we're afraid we're not worthy of being loved.
But when we cling to God alone, he sets us frees from need and sets us free to love. For we cannot love freely when we are always trying to extort love out of others. When we cling to God alone, he enables us to love like he loves.
