Think of all the wonderful things that life upon earth affords us….
These too are created things, not meant to be worshipped but rather to point us to the One who made them. Still not a one of them can truly satisfy our deepest longings for pleasure, purpose, passion, meaning, and significance.
The Bible in Basic English
Man is truly a complex wonder, and of course he is… after all, we are made in the image of the One who made us. We are capable of amazing things terrible things too and yet, the answers do not lie within for we are marred by sin and have fallen short of the glory of the One. Mankind is still in trouble and things will only get worse until the One is enthroned over us.
Our hope is not inside — not within us. Our God does both!

His strength protects us. Do we just miss out on the joy of fellowship with Him? Delight yourself in the Lord , and he will give you the desires of your heart. In the path of your judgments, O Lord , we wait for you; your name and remembrance are the desire of our soul.
Besides You I Desire Nothing On Earth
My soul yearns for you in the night; my spirit within me earnestly seeks you. For when your judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness. I stretch out my hands to you; my soul thirsts for you like a parched land. Selah Answer me quickly, O Lord! Hide not your face from me, lest I be like those who go down to the pit. Let me hear in the morning of your steadfast love, for in you I trust.

About Jill I'm a wife, mom to three beautiful children, and work as children's ministry director at Redeemer PCA in Athens, GA, a place our family treasures as our church home. It's been thirty years since the Lord saved me, and to this day I'm astounded at His steadfast love shed upon unfaithful me. My hope would be that I might speak and write in ways God would use to soften hearts toward Him, that we would together be enamored by the glorious beauty of Jesus and awakened to His love unimagined.
