A chasing after the wind

We can and never will be enough for one another. I will never satisfy any longing for another human being. The same can be said for anything else. Solomon says it best in Ecclesiastes when he repeatedly refers to our labors and efforts as a "mere chasing after the wind". How often in this life do our efforts, desires, longings, and obligations return void. Even the things inspired by the Lord can prove meaningless when whatever we are doing becomes more of our identity than the ONE who gave us the inspiration. 23Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, 24since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. Colossians 3:23...It is one of the easiest things I know to do, to esteem the inspiration over the inspirer, the gift over the giver, the breath over the one who breathes into you...May we never forget the gift of God of salvation for all to know him and to become his righteousness. Commit your plans to the Lord, true happiness is not found in getting what you want. True happiness is found in desiring God above all and allowing your desires to be shaped and molded into his good, pleasing, and perfect will. I will let you down. I have let you down. He wont let you down, for he is incapable of that which is not love.
