God can fill your cup and run it over with His Love

When we are unhappy and things we long for in life is not becoming real to us, we are also unappreciative of others. We tend to wallow on self-pity. We try to challenge ourselves so we can shine and have our own fifteen minutes of shallow fame.

When we don't know God and we do not have a relationship with Him, it seems every day is a struggle. We try our best to show a happy 'front' but those who have intimate relationships with God can see through the facade.  Though it's not their wisdom that they can measure the other person's heart condition, it is the learned wisdom from the Lord.

God said it's not through material things that would make a person a success. It is the relationship we have with Him. He did not create us to turn away from Him, but to know Him through our relationship with His Son, Jesus, to rely on His goodness and His faithfulness.

No matter what we do to get to where we would think that we would finally be happy, the feeling of happiness and satisfaction do not last. We keep on seeking for more accomplishments. It is in this busyness in life that we would find ourselves in the middle of the night wondering why we still feel empty inside.

We turn to our appetite of junk foods to keep us full. We thought that just maybe the abundance of it will make us be filled with happiness. For a short time, yes, until we realize, we are feeling the results of mindless eating. We tend to have some alcoholic spirit of the glass, better yet the whole bottle to numb us for the day and night. But it seems, there's no relief to that anxious feeling of want. We ended up doing more of it. Some can handle the emptiness they feel inside; most don't.

And all the while, there's a solution to the condition of our hearts. If we just know how to humble ourselves and finally surrendering our will to our Savior, Jesus Christ. Oh how we are missing out!

No matter how this world try to keep us apart from God by our own daily challenges and decisions and actions; we will all be biting the dust of emptiness. The kicker is even at an old age, we would say: "I live my life the way I wanted to live! I'm my own person!"  How sad to live that kind of life. Then we wonder why we contracted the common illnesses and deceases of man that are the results of our rebellion against God.

In the last chapter of our life, hopefully we may realize how much we need the amazing Grace of God. It's hard to fathom God's awesome Power, but it's there.
