Chasing after Him

We all share the same dilemma—we long for life and we’re not sure where to find it. We wonder if we ever do find it, can we make it last? The longing for life within us seems incongruent with the life we find around us. What is available seems at times close to what we want, but never quite a fit. Our days come to us as a riddle, and the answers aren’t handed out with our birth certificates. We must journey to find the life we prize. And the guide we have been given is the desire set deep within us.

The greatest human tragedy is simply to give up the search. There is nothing of greater importance than the life of our deep heart. To lose heart is to lose everything. And if we are to bring our hearts along in our life’s journey, we simply must not, we cannot, abandon this desire. Gerald May writes in The Awakened Heart,

There is a desire within each of us, in the deep center of ourselves that we call our heart. We were born with it, it is never completely satisfied, and it never dies. We are often unaware of it, but it is always awake . . . Our true identity, our reason for being, is to be found in this desire.

SO WHAT?

What do you desire your relationship with God to look like? That is a desire that you can not let go of. You must chase it with your whole heart. Today chase after God with your whole entire heart and don't ever stop chasing after Him.

What Were You Created For?

"Everything--a horse, a vine--is created for some duty...For what task, then, were you yourself created? A man's true delight is to do the things he was made for."
Marcus Aurelius
Roman Emperor
121 - 180


"We have found the answer! We were created to be possessed of righteous energy. We were made to be warriors, winning the right battles with conquering energy. We have been wired to be friends, using our connecting energy to establish and maintain meaningful relationships with other Christians and Non-Christians. That's what we were made for.

SO WHAT?

Today you were made to know God and show God. Nothing will ever change that. So today spend sometime getting to know God better. Talk with Him, worship Him and tell Him how much you love Him. Then go and show Him to everyone you meet today. Live in such a way that people will see that there is something different about you.

What is to Come?

"We must adjust to changing times and still hold to unchanging principles.”
Jimmy Carter
Thirty Ninth President of the United States
1924 - Present


SO WHAT?

We know the truth of the Bible is forever and ever going to be true. We also need to become people can hold on to that truth no matter what comes our way. When you feel discouraged and that there is no hope, hold on to the truth that you know is true.
Things will always come up in our lives that make us question and doubt what truth is. It is at those times when we must hold to what we know God has said.
