Searching

Are you looking for something? Are you wanting proof of God’s existence or maybe love? Are you searching for more than this life has to offer? Maybe you’re searching for a solution to your pain and depression….


Let’s go with this first… everyone is searching for more than what this life has to offer, we was fashioned that way. Usually we look for someone to accept us and love us. Then the question of God comes in with that. Christians claim that God has all the answers and everything that we need. This is true. For Matthew 6:33 says: But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Also in Psalms 37:4 says: Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. 


Now let’s go with this next…. Does God exist? A lot of people will argue that he doesn’t and wants proof. Proof is all around you. I mean think about it. Who else could design such a world that it all works together. How do you know God’s there? You can’t see him true, but if you talk to him and trust in your heart that he’s there, you will feel him and hear him. Remember you can’t see the wind, but you can feel and hear it as well as see the effects of it. Just like God you can see the effects of him. In fact you’re fashioned in his likeness. For in Genesis 1:26 says: And God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness:

Now another subject to deal with…. What do I do about my depression and longing for love and acceptance among people? Ok, first of all God is love. For 1 John 4:8 says: He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. You accept God you will have love not only love but peace and help through those depressing times. God has given you the authority over those feelings, for those feelings come from God’s enemy as well as our enemy, the devil. For Luke 10:19 says: Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy; and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Also in James chapter 4 verses 7 and 8 says: Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh unto you…. Fear is another emotion that you may be dealing with. That’s also of the devil resist him for God also gave you authority of this, but you say how do you know that is from the devil? Well 2 Timothy 1:7 says: For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of sound mind.

Just surrender it all to God, you will find peace in hard times, and you will have love. No he never did promise that the cross wouldn’t get heavy or that the hill wouldn’t be hard to climb, but he did promise to be there for you, for he said he’d stick closer to you than a brother. For the joy of the Lord will be your strength. Remember this in 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 says: Love suffereth long, and is kind; love envieth not; love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things, love never faileth. Remember God is love so if you replace love in this it says: God suffereth long, and is kind; God envieth not; God vaunteth not his self, is not puffed up, doth not behave his self unseemly, seeketh not his own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things, God never faileth. 

Remember these things in your daily life and when you get down and out, and if doubt enters your mind. Doubt your doubt.
