happiness

Hmm... i guess we're all too familiar with phrases like "live happily ever after", "don't worry, be happy", etc.
They are all about happiness....
Which shows that humans are looking for happiness... all their lives, they do everything, go everywhere, spend anything to reach that happiness that they're yearning for....
but at the end.. they can only found emptiness....
Why??
It's not that "live happily ever after" will never happen....
It's not that it's only happen in the story....
It's becoz we've been looking for the wrong happiness...
We're looking for things to fulfill our own desire...
and there's nothing that can fulfill us except one thing...
actually, it's not a thing... it's a person...
The Only Person which can fulfill us....
He's the only One who can make us complete...
And at the end... it's not juz happiness that He'll bring to our lives...
it's more than that... coz He's promised an overflowing JOY!
So, ask yourself... have you been looking for happiness in the right place?
Open your heart, and let Him in...
Only Jesus can...

No Greater Love

No Greater Love - Don Moen

(John 15:13)

Verse 1:

You loved me,

When I was so unlovely,

You sought me

When I was lost;

You showed me

How much You really loved me,

When You bought me

At the highest cost

Chorus:

There’s no greater love than this,

There’s no greater love than this,

That a man would give his life for a friend;

There’s no higher sacrifice

Than a man would give his life,

You have paid

A precious price for me

Verse 2:

You chose me,

When I was so unworthy

You cleansed me

With Your own blood;

You clothed me

With righteousness and mercy,

And You crowned me

With Your steadfast love

(Repeat Chorus 2 times)

Coda:

You have paid

A precious price for me

You have paid

A precious price for me

---------------------------------------------------------------

Really, the lyric of this song is so true... There's NO greater love than God's love for the world - for you and me...

John 3:16 said "God so loved the world that He gave his begotten son that whosoever believe in Him should not perish but have everlasting life."

GOD.................the greatest LOVER
SO LOVED............the greatest DEGREE
THE WORLD...........the greatest NUMBER
THAT HE GAVE........the greatest ACT
HIS BEGOTTEN SON....the greatest GIFT
THAT WHOSOEVER......the greatest INVITATION
BELIEVETH...........the greatest SIMPLICITY
IN HIM..............the greatest PERSON
SHOULD NOT PERISH...the greatest DELIVERANCE
BUT.................the greatest DIFFERENCE
HAVE................the greatest CERTAINTY
EVERLASTING LIFE....the greatest POSSESSION
