The True rest

     I set out every morn in search of meaning of life, but returned home empty handed.  In the world, I found nothing interesting.  My searches were in vain and my journeys tiresome.  I couldn't understand life any better than when I first started out on my quest.  There was no food which I ate would fill me for days or drink that would quench my thirst long.   It was wandering without finding; living without life; laughing without joy, until I knew why it was so.  The futility of life was for me to grasp the meaning of life.  The experiences both failures and successes were doors to infinity, where life is abundant and peace with God.

      It was during one such ventures in search of the door of joy unlimited, I entered a market place which offered many gods for different prices.  Among them I found a Divine Being who was for free and He was the most captivating of them all.  With doubts I chose this door and thus began a journey.  Thinking that this too would fade away quickly like my previous futile ventures, I passed my time with this Lord, the Christ of God who captivated me more and more.   He is the true meaning of love.  He came for every one in love, for love and by love. He is the bread that satisfies me completely and living water that quenches my thirst long.  A spring of life sprang up in me and my wanderings were over.  Finally I was living rather than mere existing.  There is excitement, newness and meaning to life in Christ and I found my rest at last, the real HOME, Jesus who is called Christ, Amen.  Hallelujah.
