Daily Java: Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved. – Acts 4:10,12.

I read an article today on the web about a woman who wanted to become 1000 pounds. She was “working” toward this goal and was currently 600 pounds. To do this, she had to not move around much and to eat 12,000 calories a day, with a weekly food budget of over $800. she already had the record of the fattest woman to have a a child, and her partner was encouraging her to realize her “dream”.

People have such odd goals, and they work so hard to get them. But chances are, when they arrive at their goals, it is not as big a deal as they thought.

A guy works for years to retire, then finds himself bored. He buys an expensive car, then finds it is not what it was cracked up to be. People work for stuff so hard then find it is not fulfilling like they thought. A lot of money is spent on a vacation, then it is over.

It is no wonder that people have so much trouble finding happiness in life. They try to find fulfillment in stuff that will ultimately go away.

The thing is, a happy life is only found in Jesus. Everything else is smoke and mirrors. Nothing else is real.

It is kind of like being thirsty and drinking all kinds of stuff when what  you want is water. Jesus said that he was the Living Water, and that whoever drank of him would never thirst.

You can drink of life as deeply and fully as you want, but in the end, only the part that had Jesus in it will matter.

Only Jesus saves us.
