With All My Heart

“With all my heart, I seek You...” 

Psalm 119:10

“Thou hast made us for thyself, O Lord, and our heart is restless until it finds its rest in Thee.” Saint Augustine wrote those powerful words in one of his most well known writings, “Confessions”. He tells of his long journey from darkness into Christ’s marvelous light. 

Many people are searching for God but they do not know it because the great deceiver does his work well. I like what the famous actor Jim Carrey said, “I think everybody should get rich and famous and do everything they ever dreamed of so they can see that it's not the answer.” A well known sports celebrity who earned millions for just one game and all the accolades the world could offer, confessed that he had everything he ever wanted, but lost all that he loved. 

Mark Twain said, “The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.” Do we know why we were born? Do we know the meaning of our existence? Do we know our purpose? All these questions can only be answered by the One who created us. Let us seek Him with all our heart and He will give us everything we need to live a joyful and fulfilled life.
