Lostness

Some people are always looking for something to satisfy them.

There's a hole there, and it speaks to them, and it says, "you'll be happy once you fulfill your ambition as a musical artist. Or as a painter, or make a ton of money"

Some people spend many years doing just that. Al the decisions they make along the way, help them accomplish their desire to fulfill their money goals, or career goals.

Along the way opportunities were presented into their lives that allowed them to get to know God. To experience Him.

But they neglected it, because they weren't looking for that. That was not on their radar, on their road to success.

Eventually they reach their goal, yet they feel empty.

It's so interesting because what would made them feel satisfied was the thing the neglected.

(Keep in mind as I say they, I'm truly including myself in these scenarios, because I struggle with this as well)

Serving God, leads to life. But chasing after our own desires may lead us into misery.

Heres another interesting thought to contemplate...

You desire that you chase after, was created and sold to you by the status of the world that you live in.

If you lived in a world where the flashing lights, and glamorous things were presented to you through a talent of sewing.

People would want to be sewers. If that was the popular things that the world glorified.

And this is why the understanding of God, is much more important that we give credit for.

God never changes. Which means whe this world changes again, and it will, them what is important now, will be less important then. And the race for fame, glory, money, and power, will change al over again.

It will still be a race, and a competition, but the way to obtain it, may change.

When your whole world changes, and America is no longer the world you find your self in, but we find ourselves, at the will of a new power.

I want you to remember and consider one thing. God, will never change. What you do for Him, what He wants us to do, to serve Him, to grow in our works To match Jesus' behaviors and personality. As we come to know Him through our daily sacrifices and services.

This reward will go with us, from now and throughout all eternity.

This is why the scriptures say:

We are all racing for a crown, but the worlds crown is perishable the crown that you will receive from the Lord, will never perish.

The world is offering you a crown, you can spend your life trying to obtain it, and maybe you do. But eventually the crown will vanish with the wind, and all that will be left, is worms and the fire which will last forever.

Think long and hard truly, how do you want to spend this life?

It's all your decision.
