Chasing After The Wind
"I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind."
Ecclesiastes 1:14
This is such a great verse and it is completely and totally true. While on earth we have this tendency to focus and place all our attention on pointless and meaningless things. We have this idea that the things of this world will bring us joy, happiness, and satisfaction. The thing is that the things of this world can bring those things but generally it only stays for a short period of time.
That is why their are some many failed relationships because people get married and then when they aren't getting what they want they move onto someone better. Their are so many other examples I am just using that one.
That is why it is so important for us to focus and place all of ourselves in Christ. Only in Christ will we ever feel fully satisfied. Only Christ can truly fill that void in our hearts and heal the damage that has been done. It is only in Christ where true joy and happiness can be found. Once we belong to Christ we find our purpose and we are totally complete.
Christ is everything to me. Their are days where I struggle and I know that I am not giving Him my best. But at the end of the day I know that He will always be there. He is never going to leave me or let me go. He is always there and because of Him I have found my place and I have such a joy and happiness. And I am doing all that I can to live for Him the best I can. I am by no means perfect but at then end of the day Christ still loves me and that is something that cannot be found anywhere else. I am choosing to seek after Him because nothing here in this world can give me what Christ can. Chasing after anything else is just like chasing after the wind.
