the SOURCE.

I still remember that Saturday when Rob Bell's 'Breathe' was screened. I was in ING and YY discussion and we were going through more in-depth thoughts about what was being shared over in the video. And He moved.

God gives us the breath of life, which is the life that we are living. That is for sure, no doubts about that for many of us. We know the story of creation so well (in Genesis 1-2) that we were made from dust but made into beings by His breath. Yet by knowing this in our minds, we forgot about our breaths. We breathe in and out daily, yet we do not give much thoughts to that very essence that holds our lives.

'Why spend money on what is not bread,
and your labour on what does not satisfy?
Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good,
and your soul will delight in the richest of fare.
Give ear and come to Me;
hear Me, that your soul may live.
I will make an everlasting covenant with you
my faithful love promised to David.'
Isaiah 55:2-3

We constantly are looking for something to satisfy us, to meet our needs and wants. As a youth myself, I am also looking for something that will give me satisfaction. I get disheartened when I see youths running all over the place just to find for satisfaction. When that feeling of satisfaction no longer exists, they start running all over the place again to look elsewhere. When I see youths trying to look for love and pleasure in the wrong places, making mistakes and living in the consequences, my heart broke. I feel even more helpless when salvation is offered to them, but they turn it down.

God is the source of Your life. He gives you breath. Thus He will be the One who will satisfy You. Are you constantly running around to look for something that will satisfy You? It is tiring to keep running around in search isn't it? Come to Jesus, and He will put an end to your search. For He satisy, eternally.
