Found.

Where?   Where are you found?


        There is this innate longing in the human to be truly found; to be truly found in something MORE. Often times we will try to fill this void that pierces us to our very core with something or someone.  We want them/it to be who we draw our security, purpose, confedienece, soul satisfaction, worth, comfort, identity, fulfillment and very LIFE from.  We are empty and need to be filled,  lost needing to be found, our very being cries it out. It doesn't simply bring it to our attention, making us ponder, no, it demands an answer. "WHERE?", it asks in a state of need, out of a state of well-beyond desperation. 

Humanity is crying out, but they don't know what for.  They're crying out for LIFE. To love and to be loved.  


 "...they have ears, but they do not hear."  They do not hear God Almighty saying, "I AM WHERE." The Lord wants YOU to see that He, Creator of The Universe, wants to come in and be where you're found.  He wants to forgive you of your sin and clothe you in His righteousness.  He is much, much more than your fulfillment.  He wants you to turn you're heart away from darkness and towards Him to be able to hear. To hear that He is Almighty God and you can choose to be FULLY found in Him. 


So there it is.  We cannot fill the void or be our 'where'. Only He who has overcome death itself can. The best part? He's available and available in unending abundance.  You can do ETERNITY with The King of Kings as the center of your life.
 We are created intentionally to serve The Lord.  To press into and onto Christ.  To be truly found is to choose and to grab ahold of Christ and Him Crucified; to be found is to be In Christ.  We were made for Him.  Nothing and no one except Jesus Christ is worth it.  He is the ONE found worthy.  


Jesus is saying, "In ME you are found, no one else. I am the answer, come follow me."  The question is, how will you answer? 



He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence. For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell, and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross.-Colossians 1:15-20
