Looking for the RIGHT things in the WRONG places

Haven't we all been there before? I mean that frustrating situation where you're frantically looking for something in a place...only to realise later it was never there! It really is frustrating.

One of the most futile things to do in life is looking for something where it is not!
Futile, because no matter how hard you search, no matter how many hours you put in, no matter how much you invest into the search, no matter how carefully you look; you'd never find it as you're looking in the wrong place!
This, unfortunately, is the case with many people today.

There are so many gaping holes in our lives which we try to fill - there are certain things our hearts yearn and crave for; problem is, we've been looking in the wrong places...

Some look for protection by building high walls and employ "cutting edge" technology to keep them safe...

Many look for love in boyfriends and girlfriends...

Others look for fulfilment in life in their jobs...

Many look for happiness in money and wealth...

Hurt ones look for healing in wild entertainment...

Many look for strength to not drown under the weight of hardship in alcohol and hard drugs...

Many look for role models in celebrities...

These are great things to look for in life...the problem (again) is: many are looking in the wrong places...

You can't (and won't) find what you're looking for searching in the wrong places, you'd be stuck...you'd suffer disappointments...your hopes would be dashed! Because you are looking in the wrong places!

Make a change; look in the right place
You're more likely to find what you're looking for when you look in the right place. In Jesus, you heart's yearnings are met.
You find true peace, true joy, true happiness in Him...
"It’s in Christ that we find out who we are and what we are living for. Long before we first heard of Christ and got our hopes up, he had his eye on us, had designs on us for glorious living, part of the overall purpose he is working out in everything and everyone" - Ephesians 1:11-12 (MSG).

Life takes on renewed meaning with Jesus; you'd discover your worth, and walk in purpose with Him.
Really, it's in Christ that we find out who we really are. It's in Him we discover our true identities. It's in Him we discover and live in purpose. So come on board - be reborn by God!
Let God fill the hole, the crave, the yearn in your heart, He alone can.

"It’s in Christ that we find out who we are and what we are living for...

Want to find out who you really are and what you are living for? Accept Jesus into your life today (if you are yet to). How? It's simple - believe in your heart and confess with your mouth His Lordship over your life, and you'd enter the best phase of your life!

If you have accepted Jesus but crave for more out of your relationship with Him; then draw close to Him in fellowship and obedience in prayer, study of His word, living righteously and spiritual mindedness!

"It’s in Christ that we find out who we are and what we are living for...
In Christ alone is wholeness found...
