Justin Bieber had an instagram post yesterday that blew up… it was even on Good morning America.

Basically it talked about how a few years ago it seemed like he had everything he could ever want but in reality he was in a very dark place and empty and void… until he gave his life to Jesus. 

FIRST OFF: Kudos to you Mr. Bieber for being so brutally honest. 

 

 

Here is a thought… How many of you find yourself wanting to trade places with someone? Maybe they are rich or have a beautiful wife, Maybe they are built like a tank, maybe they are a professional athlete with incredible skill… but regardless you are being tricked into thinking that if you had “that” whatever “that” is… you would be happier, fulfilled, life would be better!  

 

I had a young girl who had started having sex at an early age in High school. At one point she finally gave her life to Christ and is an incredible woman of God now… but she shared a story that when she gave her virginity away it was not at all what she thought it would be…so she lied to herself and to others about it. She told lots of girls that they didn’t know what they were missing and it makes you a woman etc… etc…

But in her loneliness at home she would think, I could never tell anyone I made the biggest mistake of my life… so I just have to keep pretending and playing the game.

WHATS THE POINT? We see men who seem to have it all and yet I know that in their deepest darkest secret they can’t figure out why they don’t feel fulfilled… and they are to afraid to admit it… who would believe them? They have it all… 

Many take their own life, many keep searching for the right formula… is it more money? More women? More trophies? More family? More business? More accolades?

And many come to Christ and fess up saying… everyone thought I had it… I didn’t have it at all. In fact I could name hundreds of such people… Justin Bieber is just one of them.

I just happened to write this in my journal a few days ago…

Social media has made many seem like experts to those who are insecure and feeling inadequate - when in reality all the “expert” has proven is that they can take a picture and type. And my guess is that most of these experts themselves are also insecure and feeling inadequate trying to fill a void only God can fill.

So what have we learned today? Quit worrying about why you are not someone else… they are struggling with the same issues you are… trying to fill the void… but you have the secret formula. A relationship with God. Push into him, lean into him… ask him for all he has for you, ask him to help you know his love more then ever before. Trust that he wants to reveal himself to you more every day. That is the key! 

Luke 12:16-21

16 And he told them this parable: “The ground of a certain rich man yielded an abundant harvest. 17 He thought to himself, ‘What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops.’

18 “Then he said, ‘This is what I’ll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store my surplus grain. 19 And I’ll say to myself, “You have plenty of grain laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry.”’

20 “But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?’

21 “This is how it will be with whoever stores up things for themselves but is not rich toward God.”

 

*Don’t try to be the man who is building bigger barns… getting ready to eat drink and be merry… 

Because not even YOU know when you will stand before God. 

And this world is not your final destination and this life is just a dress rehearsal for eternity.

Prepare for eternity! That is what brings fulfillment! 

Being rich toward God is understanding that the only things you can take to heaven are the lives you changed!
