What are you searching for? Is it a new job so you can make more money? Is it a new house or is it a new electronic device? With this fast growing time, everybody is searching for something. We look for new jobs and new opportunities to better ourselves so we can afford the finer things in life. We look for new technology so we can say we have one of those. Through all of our searches, it is the same, something that will make us happy.
We have all said, “When I find ____, I’ll be the happiest person around.” What is in your blank? Do you really think it will make you happy? Sure, when you find something you have been looking for, it will make you happy, but for how long? Will it make you happy for one day, one week or even one year? In this day and time, everything becomes out-dated in about 6 months. There is always a newer version, or an upgrade that in the end, we start our search all over again to find the new item that will make us happy.
When you sit down and truly think about searching for happiness, all of the above are just quick fixes. They only make you happy for a short time, and then you search for a better item or a newer version and the cycle repeats over again.
Searching for happiness is not found in a store, but is found in the Bible. Jesus Christ can give your search a new meaning and a powerful purpose. When you search for Jesus and His plan for your life, it is a fulfillment in your life that has no comparison to the quick fixes. When you think you are close to knowing His plan for you, He opens a new door and a new search begins. It is an ever changing experience and with each new door opening a new fulfillment of happiness is laid upon your heart. The more you search for Jesus, the more joy and happiness you will gain. When your time come to an end and you are face to face with God, to hear Jesus say, “This is my child and my blood paid the price for their sins, enter into the kingdom of Heaven.” your search will have come to a complete end and enternal happiness will be upon you.
So I ask again, what are you searching for? Eternal happiness or a quick and meaningless happiness that will eventually go away.
