We are all searching for something.......
A new job. a new spouse. a new friend. a new car. a new purpose. a new church. a new life...
Too many of us are so attached to our possessions. We think that we have to cling to them like there is no tomorrow, we are all trying to get something better all the time...
When it comes down to it, all these things are absolutely meaningless...unless you've got 1 thing at the heart of it all. If you are pursuing Christ, and realize that nothing in this earth can ever satisfy the hunger that Jesus fulfills...then your on the right track :)
Possessions are possessions...they come and they go, they are never with you forever. You need to be rooted deep in your faith - and know that Jesus NEVER Changes, He never leaves....moths and rust will consume our possessions one day, you can't take them with you when you leave.
Put your focus on God. Stay rooted so you will not be easily swayed.
Everything in this earth is meaningless, without Christ.
With Christ, you can do great things.
"I can do ALL things THRU Christ who gives me STRENGTH"
Amen! Another wonderful post. I hope you keep writing them. :-)
ReplyDeleteIndeed, we must always keep our eyes on, as Jesus said to Martha, the one thing that is needful. (Luke 10:38-42)
"Our hearts are restless, until they rest in Thee"
-St. Augustine, Confessions (397)
You are so right! :) If only we'd learn sooner than later, eh?
