1Jn2

Do not love the world or the things in the world, because these things disappoint and will ultimately pass away.  Instead, love God and pursue Him.  He will not disappoint and He is eternal.

It is so easy to love the wrong things.  In fact, we tend to pursue lusts as though they will satisfy our deepest longing.  Why is that?  Has any temporary thing ever satisfied the desires that you have?  In fact, obtaining the desire generally creates an even greater desire and greater disappointment.  When will we learn?

On the other hand, the bible calls us to love God and to pursue Him.  Although it is more difficult, it does not disappoint.  Pursuing the world leaves us feeling empty.  Pursuing God fills our tanks with satisfaction that last.

Pursue Christ today.
