Your Heart is
deceitful
You say, "What on earth are you talking about?
Your heart sends you outside to find what is lacking on the inside -
the further you go, and the more you get the more hopeless and desperate your
life becomes. Many people hand themselves over to resignation, they make vows
based on their experience and pains and they decide that their lot in life is
set.
But we all know - or at least we used to know that there is
MORE than what we can see with our eyes.
It is just a little beyond the visible - it is a Mystery - a
SECRET - that we long to know.
It's the World's Greatest Mystery - We think," If I could
only Get One More....... If I could meditate my way in... re-train my brain....search
the wisdom of history and culture...climb a great mountain...endure pain and
rigorous training...or just get a little wine and some time off... or... or...
I could have it."
Sometimes we just stand and stare - Why can't we see it? - Where is this Treasure? - What will fill the Hole in our
heart that defies gratification through its own demands?
Fact is most people - even many people who believe the Bible
and would identify themselves as Christians - are looking in the wrong place to
find this TREASURE.
Most people are
looking OUTSIDE of themselves for the very thing that they are lacking inside
themselves. They are looking off to "heaven" somewhere or at least to some
other place and time far away from their everyday reality.
