We’re all confused and looking for a way out of that confusion. We see the glitz and the glamour and we want it. We desire to have the “freedom” that our favorite stars have. We firmly believe that some how if we were more creative than our lives would be better. If we were better at our craft we would get noticed and be able to make a living that our families would be proud of. However, the truth is it’s all a LIE. We are obsessed with being seen and receiving attention. Our stars are as lonely and afraid as we are. The deal won’t make our lives better. The salary won’t fix the lost hope in our hearts. The disappointment won’t fade away.
I speak to people on a daily bases that are blinded by their own desires. The grind allows us to keep busy so we don’t see our desperate need for love. I remember when I was in college I was able to keep it moving. I was the mover and pusher but the more I moved and pushed the more my own emptiness surfaced. Are you empty? Are you running from you? Are you willing to see yourself for who you are? Lost, lonely, hopeless, in need of more than success. Are you tired of running? Our hope is found in Jesus alone. The temporary fixes that this world brings can’t compare to the love, joy and peace that is found in Christ alone. Instead of running away from Him try running to Him for in Him hope is found. You don’t have to be hopeless.
