Today I realized that there are many pleasures under the sun. Some good and some not so good. People choose what pleases them and run after it, longing for more and more of that very thing.
I have found that I delight in God and love being in His presence through songs of worship and praise whether alone in my room or with fellow God lovers at church. Nothing makes my heart jump for joy more, than to see the Father at work in the lives of young men and women who desire to have the love, joy, peace, blessings and the many other pleasures that the Father freely gives to all who desire them. These pleasures, I have come to understand, are desired by all who live under the sun. For those who are in the Father, no one and nothing satisfy this need than the Father Himself. For others, who do not come to the Father, they look for it elsewhere. Some look for it in alcohol, some in tobacco, drugs and still some in fornication (adultery). Some people try to supplement the real pleasure that is found in the Father with the afore mention, yet nothing can ever supplement that which ONLY God can offer in completeness. All attempts to do so is but a temporal solution (if I may call it that) that in most cases leads to hurt and disappointments in the future.
The Father desires nothing else more than to satisfy us with ALL good things. He created us and knows our desires and longings and He patiently waits to satisfy them when (if) we come to Him. His word declares that no good gift will He with hold from those that love Him. He wants to please you, satisfying your every need. Stop trying supplements (they do not work), try the real deal and you will never go back.
