Wishing There Was More: Why Am I Here? (1 of 4)
As I wake up every morning and look at the day that awaits me, I often see a mix of things on my calendar. Some days look full of exciting opportunities. Other days look full of monotonous tasks. Most of the time they are full of both. And I ask myself, why am I doing this? I catch myself evaluating the life I am living based on what I give my time to. Much of my time is going to work. Much of it is going to my wife and children. Then there are friends and hobbies and tasks and projects around home. The list gets pretty long of all I am giving myself to.
Have you ever stopped to think of why you are doing the things you are doing? Why are you engaging with the people you are engaging with? Why are you are living the life that you are living?
I believe that almost every decision we make has as it’s core motivation the belief that this decision is somehow going to make my life better and I will be more fulfilled. Our job, who we marry, our free time, where we live, what we own.
Yet, much of the time we still find ourselves feeling like there is something missing. Is this all there is? We may feel like we have it all and its not enough. We may feel like the pursuit is never ending and exhausting to have it all. We may believe we will never have it all, but the dream to have it still haunts us.
My question is, what is the “all?” What is it that seems to be eluding us?
The human heart longs for fulfillment. To be human is to desire what is ultimately satisfying. For the next month at K2 we are going to look at four questions that reveal this need and that most of us are asking. Why am I here? Why am I stuck? Why am I hiding? Why am I empty?
If you find yourself asking these questions or feeling like there is something more than what you’ve got or what you’re pursuing, I hope you will join us as we ask God to answer these deep questions of our hearts.
Jesus said that he came so that we would have life to the full. We’re on a full out, reckless pursuit of that life He offers. We’d love to invite you to join us for the ride!
