I am seeing it more and more these days. I hear of attempted suicides, actual suicides, major depression battles. I hear stories of people who cannot cope with the world today and its changes. I watch people who cannot cope with the loss of a loved one or good friend. I read about celebrities who thought they had everything but truly seem very unhappy and unsettled. I see people turning to every type of thing to distract them from life.
Billy Graham among others, has said that we are all created with a God-shaped void in our hearts. We spend our lives trying to fill it with everything but God. We turn to drugs, alcohol, parties, career, sex, lust, sports, hobbies, money, relationships and the list goes on and on. I am as guilty as anyone else. The only difference is I made a decision. My decision and baptism on January 12, 2002 was to turn my life over to Jesus Christ and to find my hope in him. He never lets you down. He always fulfills. He is the alpha and the omega. The second thing for those who have become Christians is to realize that this home is temporary, and our true home is in heaven- a perfect dwelling with the Lord.
If you don't know the Lord, life will be tough. If you do know the Lord, life is still tough but we know how the movie- game-story- chapter ends.
