"Come to me, all ye who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." Matt 11:28 NIV.
You are curious, admit it, very curious about life. I mean you hear about God, you kinda believe He is real, you know there's a heaven and there's a hell but you just don't want to fully believe it. Like give me some more time let me live my life, let me party some more, let me have more fun because YOLO!! But wait... don't get me wrong. Deep within you, you want something, you know there's more to life than this. Getting drunk and partying is your temporary getaway, getting high helps you relieve stress and charges you to face life, you need these things to keep you going. Slowly you're becoming dependent on them. You're searching so hard, seeking for what can temporarily fill your void. You are looking for answers, you just want to be satisfied, you just want to be happy, you want more in life. Now maybe this boyfriend/girlfriend is gonna do, or how about smoking, nahh I think weed is better. And just like that you are traveling from one thing to the other, but each and every time you are left with nothing because you still feel empty! There has to be more to life.!
I don't know you, you don't know me. I don't know what you are going through, what you've been through or how crazy your life is. But I need you to know, mine has once been hell. I've been in the valleys, I've been in the deepest wells, I've had days when I wanted to just die, like what in the world am I living for? But lemme tell you, I've found joy, I've found happiness. I was empty, ruined, tired, lost, I was looking for answers and I've heard about Jesus. I knew His name so I decided to check Him out myself. Trust me, since then I have never looked back. I've found the man who healed my wounds, the man who filled me up, the man who took away my fears, who made my insecure self very courageous, the man who gave me hope, purpose, peace, love and totally erased my past. Today I stand, proud to say I've been renewed! I've been touched! I've been FILLED and I am searching no more because right here lies the answer I've been looking for!!
Find out yourself :)
