Superior Pursuits

One cannot find all the answers to all the questions in a lifetime. God after all is infinite, we cannot contain Him as much as we try. But there's a joy and adventure to that, I can have a question now and go out find the answers. And as soon as that's done, rest assured there will be more questions to ask.

It's always something new, something bigger- that's what growth is. Looking for God is growth. To surrender to a life of sin (apart from God) is not quite as fulfilling. The spectrum of discoveries are repetitive and often times dulling. What's more is that to get to the 'high' you want, you need larger doses of that thing further on just to get the same effect. It's a downward defeating spiral and not at all the freedom it claims to be.
