Finding Life

So often, we look for life within ourselves.  We also seek to feel alive through pleasurable experiences.  It leaves us empty, feeling as though we are the only ones who did not succeed.

We have been given life.  We are meant to feel alive.  Why do we feel so dead?

We are disconnected from the vine - only hanging on by a thread.

"I am the vine; you are the branches.  Whoever abides in Me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing."  John 15:5

Did you know God wants to enjoy communion with you? 

Read until you hear from Him.

Pray until your soul finds peace with Him.

May God give you the faith to believe His promises.  May you again delight in Him. 

"For whoever finds me (wisdom) finds life and obtains favor from the Lord."  Proverbs 8:35 

We often see children rejoice over simple things - flowers, bugs, and airplanes.  How we long for the wonder of rejoicing!  Are our adult minds too mature for such rejoicing?  No!

"I rejoice at Your Word as one who finds great treasure."  Psalm 119:162

Go to the Word and prayer, not for the sake of doing your religious duty.  Go to meet with God. Come back transformed.  Know the refreshment and rest of your good shepherd and father.  Life is there.

John 14:6  "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life.  No one comes to the Father except through Me.'"
