Consider this..

This is life to many people.

-riches

-sex

-parties

-appearance

-careers

The problem is that there is not point of achieving in them. They seek forever things that have no end. You are never rich enough. You never get enough physical pleasure. You never party enough. You never look as good to yourself as others look to you. You never get to the top of the career ladder. Increase only begets increase.

This is life to the few who are content with it.

Love of others.

Love of God.

Freedom from guilt.

An open ear to pray to.

Enjoying the blessings you have.

Finding the joy of the moment.

In the world, you will find the blind leading the blind. In God, you will find love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. You will never achieve these treasures on your own, but God willingly gives them to those who will depend on Him.
