DENNIS
Good Morning. I’m Dennis Gossett with Central United Methodist Church. May I ask you a question? What makes you happy? I mean truly happy? Is it your family, your career, or maybe it’s the new car or home you just purchased? For some of us, it can be working hard and then getting a chance to go on vacation.
To be honest, all of those things are really nice and they are not bad in and of themselves. But, has any of those things really made you stop hungering for more; like more time, more money, more vacations? The answer is probably, “NO!”
If you are like me all of those things just can’t satisfy that longing from deep down inside. The cure that I have found is following after God. It seems that our Creator has made us to be naturally drawn to Him and we feel incomplete when we aren’t. I believe that is why the Apostle Paul once told a young pastor to “take hold of the life that is truly life.” Apparently, the wise apostle had come to realize there was more to life than what we normally find pleasure in. That’s hard to believe isn’t it? But the Apostle said that the true fulfillment that comes from God is doing good and being generous. So, perhaps today you will find true fulfillment that is right outside your door. God Bless.
