Meaning Beyond the Chaos

There’s got to be more.

There’s got to be more than innocent lives shattered and lost.

There’s got to be more beyond this world that is so close to self-destruction.

There’s got to be more than all the mindless madness that threatens to drive me insane.

There’s got to be more than this ever increasing darkness.

But as the part of me that was designed to be filled by God cries this out, I shamefully realize that I have yet again been quick to forget His sacrifice; I lose sight of that, I lose sight of my mission.

There is something eternal that I can invest my time and energy in, and I acquired the ability to tap in to it when I accepted Jesus as the Lord of my life. I don’t have to chase after things that won’t fill me, because Jesus did that. I don’t have to live a life devoid of meaning, because there is only one thing I was created for. I have a Savior to worship, and a King to work for! God has also put people in front of me to love and serve, and He showed me how I am to do it when He came to this earth to love and serve us. When Jesus took the torn and empty parts of me to mend and fill them, He gave me the ability and desire to serve Him.

I heard somebody say that when we are in a crisis, we only see half of the picture because we cannot see what God is doing. To add to what was said, I think that the only thing I can do in a crises is the next thing He puts in front of me to do, and trust that there is more than I am unable to see.
