Desire for God

I used to think that life was the pursuit of everything you wanted, a scavenger hunt for worldly treasure. All my dreams and hopes were of riches and luxury, of the pride I would have to look my friends in the eyes and say "look what I have now." What I didn't realize was that the world would never empty itself into my pocket, that I would never be fulfilled, and would be just one of the many lost souls on an endless, futile journey to nowhere.

I saw though that there was something I wanted, something I couldn't describe or find. There was a reason I couldn't describe it or name it- it wasn't of this world. I had the desire to know, to love, to be one with my creator.

The Lord blessed us when he came to Earth, when he brought the New Covenant. There is something in a man that changes when he is filled with the spirit- his soul BECOMES. It is our purpose in life to serve, to unite with, and become like the Lord. We are pilgrims, all of us, in a place we don't belong.

While our earthly bodies thrive in this physical world, our spirits strive for home.
