In reference to iLove leads to iSolation

Where there’s iLove (self-love), iSolation will follow in the heart toward others, in addition to being alienated by others (and God).

This happens because, as the individual falls more in love with himself, he begins to regard his peers less. He becomes superior; they become inferior. The iSolation is his doing, and his equals become fewer and fewer.

Worse, left uncrucified, iLove will authorize any and every action, even those which cross the line of morality or legality. Authority is replaced with iThority.

That said: Rather than perpetuate iLove by seeking and justifying “a better, more enhanced (‘i’) experience”, instead…

• Be content with your present “experience”

Heb 13:5 Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”

• Seek opportunities to give to others in lieu of keeping for self (hint: try blessing someone with the “i” experience you planned on giving to yourself)

Ac 20:35 “I have shown you in every way, by laboring like this, that you must support the weak. And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.'”

• Find and “experience” Life (Joh 14:6) through self-sacrifice

Mt 10:39 “He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it.
