life

Today could very well be your last day walking on the face of this earth. That is the constant reality we all face - religious or not. We have all questioned what is next, if there really is meaning to our lives.

We continually search for the one thing that can satisfy our deep longing for fulfillment, often using the next girl or guy that walks into our lives, or drugs, alcohol, or even learning. But every time we delve deep into our craving we feel the satisfaction for a time but then, like after a sugar rush, we crash. We hit the bottom and feel empty all over again so we head back to whatever it is we use .. girls, drugs, whatever.

At this point I would like to apologize for be so selfish. For years I passed by students and random people and said nothing. I was too selfish to tell you that I know the answer, I know what can satisfy.

In a world where we are taught that its all about you, what you can do for you, and to just leave everyone else on the side, we are seldom truly real about what is going on inside. We hate to think of our loneliness, emptiness, and brokenness even though they are frighteningly real.

Our inquiry about the future has led us nowhere the further we get away from God. To live as though there is no purpose is really not living at all. Fallen humans who are fallible and do incredibly foolish things need a saviour.

There is no other faith that offers the love that Christ does. God's love and grace is inconceivable to Muslims, His peace and tranquility surpasses Nirvana, His sacrifice and suffering baffles Jews, His creativity astounds scientists, His Lordship is longer and more powerful than any other king in history, His freedom brings life, and His passion for you is indescribable.

We all have faith in something, be it God or colliding hydrogen atoms. Just think about where yours lies. He is offering salvation, it is simply yours to take.
