The Things That Matter

Torn between the struggle of being single at 25 and trying to find a job, my soul needed a change. I was like a person opening the fridge hoping they find something that satisfies their craving. The problem is that that person wasn’t sure what he desire. All I knew is that I wanted something to be different, but as I sat there in prayers I knew that none of these things will feed the hunger that is in my soul. The struggle I am facing at the moment is temporary, neither a man nor a job will solve it indefinitely. Yes, I presume they would help; God will give them to me when He is ready, but they aren’t the food that would feed my soul eternally. ST. Augustine says “our hearts are restless until they rest in you oh Lord.” This restless heart of mine cannot be satisfied with the anyone else, but Him. Apart from Christ, everything is secondary. Do that mean the struggle went away? Most certainly not, but what it means is that I would rather wait with Christ for His plans for me than go out into the world trying to do things on my own. Without Him everything is useless. What will I profit if I rebel against God with my stubbornness? Who will lose? Just as Peter did, I too have found the Messiah where am I to go? I don’t know about you, but I would rather persist in my struggles than walk away from Him.
