I wanna share something with you that a lot of us may have heard over and over and may even know in our heads, but what many of us don't really believe. Every single human being that is born on this planet is searching for something--something that brings peace, rest and satisfaction, whether we really realize that or not. Please don't stop reading. All of us just want to be happy. So we demand it from whatever source we can--whether it be relationships, money, possessions, sex, drugs, alcohol, nicotine or anything else this world has to offer. None of these things can make us truly happy--no matter how much any other human being may want us to be happy. Still searching for happiness, a lot of us don't find it and many won't.
I wanna share something that many people hear about and many have heard over and over, but don't choose to believe because it seems either too good to be true or just don't want to believe it. This something or I should say Someone---many have been martyred for. No one ever would lay their lives down for a lie or be crucified upside-down for Someone that wasn't true. These people were disciples and followed this man wherever He went. So, who was this Someone or man, you may be asking? The Son of God. Jesus Christ came into this world to give you and me, a restored relationship with Him. The only One that can give us what we're looking for is Jesus. He's what you're looking for--He's the only person that can give you the one relationship that you were created for, which will give you meaning and purpose to your life. That one relationship is with God through Jesus--God's Son. He's the only true Source of real joy. Jesus is only One that can satisfy every longing of your heart because He's the One that created your heart.
“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied." {Matthew 5:6}
"Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.' "{John 6:35}
"The wild beasts will honor me,
the jackals and the ostriches,
for I give water in the wilderness,
rivers in the desert,
to give drink to my chosen people, the people whom I formed for myself that they might declare my praise."
{Isaiah 43:20–21}
