Something more...

I am a subscriber of many You-tubers and vloggers, who never seem to run out of things to talk about, places to visit and events to attend to.

Even as my curiosity grew a little more in the past few years with many interests, so do I find myself being more open to trying opening up to where my interests carry me. However, as exciting, it may seem to some of the things that these vloggers, there seems to be a ceiling to which I find my satisfaction hits with almost everything they do. What I simply mean is that I seem to be losing interests in their pursuit at the same time I find a growth in the topic. I am not about to give up in these newly discovered interests, but these people that once introduced me to it is now an old muse.

I am a lover of food and I think I would be for a very long time till the day I die but even as I watch some of these youtube chefs, I find that their contentment in what they cook seem somewhat shallow as if there is nothing to live for apart from food.

But the more as I observed, the more the that these interests seem to only revolve around a very small and personal gratification. Even in the midst of charitable work, there is a sense of personal reward that somewhat dwarfs the actual work being done for others.

More and more I begin to see how the philosophy of the times have yet to change anything except self-serving. None but God in Christ does it play out a life that is nothing of ourselves but everything for Him. Even as my recent study of Job has reminded me about the faith that we live for in Christ is one that is not centered on the gratification and even satisfaction of this world but for an eternal truth of who God is.

Is your life only centered around you? Or are you planning it around God...
