Why do married men have affairs?
Why do single men cheat around?
Why do men have great sex with their partners for years, yet never get married?
Why are women willing to freely give their bodies away?
Why are couples not willing to commit to marriage?
Why do people indulge in pornography?
Why do people consume alcohol to their hearts' fill?
Why do teens take drugs to forget their problems?
Why do people smoke to release tension?
Why do people work so hard for money like it’s the only thing that matters in the world?
Why do some appear to be ‘religious’ and but spend their whole life in sin?
Why do people get addicted to sports but neglect God?
The ‘why’s’ can go on and on, but the answer is simple. It’s because they are searching for happiness and satisfaction!
They think they will find it in an invigorating sexual affair, the erotic scenes of a blue movie, the intoxicating drinks or the mind relaxing chemicals. They assume they need to give sex to keep their man / woman. They feel they need to drink to conform to peer pressure. They work so hard to collect expensive accessories to show off and cover their insecurities. They do something ‘religious’ to convince themselves that there is some goodness in them. They work their muscles and release their frustrations to avoid sharing with God.
Yet, they never find what they are looking for.
Then, what is the true key to happiness and satisfaction?
The answer is GOD!
I realize that he has planted eternity in human heart. There is a hole in our heart that ONLY God can fill. God made us that way!
It’s a LOVE that gives you joy no matter what happens. Even if your wallet is empty, or you partner leaves you – GOD keeps you strong, and you will never need to compromise your values. You will never need to indulge in a sexual affair, take drugs, alcohol or smoke just to find happiness & fulfillment. God will arrange your priorities and pick you up even when the world smashes you down, and brings you to your knees!
Humans will lie to you, sexual feelings will fade, the stimulating scenes of porn movies are as fleeting as a screensaver, and alcohol leads you to foolish senses. The smoke of a cigarette damages your lungs and drugs ruin you. Work keeps you busy to forget your problems for the moment. Money can buy you many things, but you cannot deny your lack of fulfillment within.
People go to all the wrong places to find that happiness because they cannot see the whole scope of God's work from beginning to end.
Just let go of your ego. Stop pretending to be proud of all your sins. Deep down in your heart, you know that what you did was wrong. You were never fully satisfied.
Just leave it down at the feet of Jesus. He forgives you. He sacrificed his life for you! JESUS LOVES YOU!
Fill the eternity in your heart. Receive the LOVE!
Ecclesiastes 3:11
Yet God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God's work from beginning to end.
1 Peter 5-6
So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time he will lift you up in honor.
I John 4:8
Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.
