It occurs to me that it is not to us the pursuits of men, but rather of the men themselves. To those whom the Lord has given the ability to see, well from them is expected much greater things than the humble accomplishments that can be made in this world. Yes they are necessary and valuable, but they are not eternally fulfilling. Maybe this is why some people have a gravity about them that draws so many in, that they have allowed the Lord to so permeate their very souls that He touches people through them, just as He healed the woman through His cloak. And yet I must return to the reality that it is not these people, these servants of God, that we should attach ourselves to, but rather to the God that we find within them. For all things of this world will pass away, and if our castles are built here, they will one day amount to nothing. Even if the world does not come to an end in our lifetime, our castles will be useless to us after our period here is over. This is a transient place, people die every day, and the joy and pain of life is never-ending. Therefore let us focus on the joy, let us find God in all things and let His joy shine through us, that through others coming into contact with us, we change their hearts, and we thereby change the world. Come with me on this journey, let not your fears hold you back, but let God show you His path for your life. No matter where you are live every moment for Him, for He is the only one who can eternally satisfy. Let our lives be looking glasses to the life of Christ and all that He did for us, that others may find the peace and wisdom that lies within Christianity, and the deeper understanding for the reasons for this world. Let us stop denying that Christ ever lived, or that we are not all of the same eternal heritage, let us come together on an even field and worship the God who made our lives possible. Let us share His good news with all those we meet, and when necessary use words!
For truly, and only then, will our hearts rest when they rest in You Lord God my Savior. And so I say, and I entreat you all to join, "Here I am Lord, I trust in You!"
