Searching and running

"God cannot give us a happiness and peace apart from Himself, because it is not there. There is no such thing. " -C. S. Lewis



People want to be happy and content in life, that's really all they want.
But, they look in the wrong places for it.
Happiness is starting to sound like an impossible thing to attain.



People reject God outwardly.

They say, "I don't need God, I don't want those Christians near me, I will never be one."
And then they claim to want happiness and inner peace.
But what they don't realize is,
what they're searching for and what they're running away from is the same thing.



So, people go to money to fulfill them.

The only logical reason to want money is to buy things.
But, the people that are so overcome with wealth and getting wealthier rarely spend their money.
Instead they latch onto it and save it.
Save it for WHAT?

They keep making more and more money, and then save it, until they're dead.
Basically they spend their lives collecting green paper, but they are never content.
They want MORE green paper, so they can stick it in the bank and call themselves "successful"

Some people look to sex to make them happy. Which, obviously won't work.

The physical world is a cruel one, it won't last, it dissappears as soon as it comes, and always takes something with it.

It never leaves love behind, it takes a part of you that you will never get back. The more you give out parts of you to meaningless people, soon you won't be anything. You'll be just the imprint of a person.

Once all has failed people think, Oh, if I have a lot of friends, then i'll be happy. Popularity is not happiness. The more casual friends you have, the more difficult it will be do make close and committed friends out of them.

Those people don't know you, and you don't know them. So, find people that make you feel special, the ones that love you, and like you.

Really like you.

Look for God and his love first. and happiness will come.
