what in the world are you living for?

Really? Have you thought about it? This world promises us so much: happiness, anything we want on credit, the praise of men and recognition, high place of leadership after "serving your time," grandeur, houses, cars, land, buildings, possessions galore...but it cannot deliver. When those promises are chased after, the result is the pursuer's disappointment, their emptiness. When you, pursuer, chase after better promises, you will be filled. Those are the promises of joy, peace, comfort, a very present help in trouble, never being in lack, having the assistance of angels, seeing and knowing Truth...even in your inward parts. These promises are found in a man. The man is Jesus Christ. The man is God. Jesus is the pursuer of your soul. He pursues your life with a zealous passion. This passionate pursuit never ends. He is always knocking, always speaking, always loving--> YOU. He longs to bring you the desires of your heart. He wants to share the delight of His promises. Jesus is not wanting to pound you on the head with a hammer for your mistakes and sins. He loves and loves perfectly.

He pursues you. All you have to do is say, "Yes."
