SABRINA Great novelist, Leo Tolstoy, author of War and Peace, though born into nobility, spent much of his life as a champion of Russia=s peasant class. Amid the fame and wealth, Tolstoy was a man of discontent. One day while walking through the country, he observed a peasant and the look of peace and happiness on the man=s face. Following a conversation with the man who had nothing, yet was filled with the joy of life, Tolstoy identified the missing link in his life...God. As a result of this encounter, he reached the conclusion: ATo know God is to live.” It seems so easy, yet we make it so hard. In looking around do you find your basic needs met and then some and yet still do not have peace? Is that missing link God? Just because we fill a church pew or have a Bible in our home, having a relationship with God is different. Thankfully, the answer is easy. All we have to do is to ask God to fill the emptiness in our lives...then we will understand...to KNOW God is to live.
