What does the world have to offer that people try to run
after it and thinks that it will provide them with the satisfaction that they
seek? Jesus said to seek the Kingdom of
God and His righteousness and all these things will be added unto you. Could the answer that we all are seeking is
to know God and to be in His presence, because in the presence of God there is
fullness of joy. Money, fame,
possessions are all nice to have and enjoy, but if they are you are pursuing
than you are not in a place that God would want you to be. Greed will eat your soul alive and as you
continue to try and feed it, you will find that you can’t be satisfied and
eventually it will lead you to the death of you.
However if one should pick up his cross and follow the
example of Jesus Christ, by laying everything down, by not making your pursuit
of worldly possessions your goal in life, but instead be willing to get to know
the Savior of mankind with all your heart and soul, then the things that God
will bring unto you will be able to meet not only your needs , but the needs of
others because your heart will be free to give unto those who are less fortune
than what you are. The biggest thing that
God is after is the heart of man because He wants relationship with us. If we get our hearts aligned with Him and His
way of doing things than we can enjoy life to the fullest because we will no
longer be controlled by our sinful passions and desires and will live a life
that is full of peace and joy in Him.
Remember the two great commandments that Jesus Christ
taught. To love the Lord your God with
all your heart, your soul and your strength and your neighbor as yourself. Love covers a multiple of sins and if we as
the Church are going to be relevant in the world we live in today than we need
to allow His love to permeate us and be the reason why we exist so that the
power of the cross can be properly demonstrated in a world that is looking for
an answer to its sufferings and the power of evil which is keeping them
suppressed. For all of man is yearning to know God and we
as His body must be willing to lead the way to hope and freedom by laying down
our lives so that His name and person will be lifted up so that all men will
see and know of the hope of salvation that only comes through Jesus
Christ. Will you join me in this
crusade? The choice is yours.
