We travel in this world...roaming around wondering why we are here, trying to make sense of the nonsense that we call life. We wonder what our purpose is, what we are to spend our time doing, who we should spend our time with. We stumble, we fall, and we get back up again. We try to create ourselves, recreate ourselves, figure ourselves out, pretend we are someone else.
When we finally reach the end of ourselves we know that it was all for naught. Only Jesus can create, only Jesus can recreate, only Jesus can give us purpose, only Jesus can reveal who we are.
Psalm 119: 171-176
My lips will pour forth praise, for you teach me your statutes.
My tongue will sing of your word, for all your commandments are right.
Let your hand be ready to help me, for I have chosen your precepts.
I long for your salvation, O LORD, and your law is my delight.
Let my soul live and praise you, and let your rules help me.
I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek your servant, for I do not forget your commandments.
We are created to Crave Jesus...to magnify and extol His name. To glorify Him, honor Him in all that we do, share who He is and live to know Him.
It's when we lose sight of our purpose, our calling that we run to people, to material possessions,to substance, to extracurricular activities and to unhealthy lifestyles.
We are made to know Jesus, made to become like Jesus, made to love like Jesus, made to be content with and desire Jesus.
He is all that we need.
