where do I put my trust?
where do I put my hope?
where do i find my peace?
where do i find my strength?
Today I was reminded of these good hard questions that we all walk around the halls of this world wondering. Wether we know it or not, all of us are continually wrestling with these questions. There has got to be more to life than what I know it to be. there has go to be purpose and meaning beyond what I experience here on this planet. I seem to continually find myself seeking answers to these questions in all the wrong places. I try to answer them on my own by throwing myself into my work, house, family, friends, even relationships only to find that I am left empty in the end. when will i learn?
You know, rip away all of the layers of who derrak is and what you will find underneath is a wretched man in need of being helped. And all he longs for is to be known, loved, and to be doing that which he was created for.
If I can only remember that the answers do not come from within me, then I will find myself exactly in the place I was meant to be all along. If I am only willing to give up all that I am and all that I value; if I am willing to give up all control, for that which God desires for my life, then and only then will I find myself in the place that I was always meant to be.
I do not know what you think, but I have found that only through Christ can these questions be answered, and this is what I need to remember. He is who I need to yield my life to. He is the one.
Thanks for listening, I wonder what you think? let me know.
