Mr. Abercrombie pastes it in front of us whenever we set foot into the shopping mall. Everyone wants to look so, so fine, and so we stress over our looks and our clothes and our weight and we develop anorexia, but, despite what Calvin Klein may want you to believe, personal beauty isn't worth dying for. They go right along with a full wallet and a rosy complexion, but are still just as unstable and incapable of filling the void in one's life. Perhaps, in order to find satisfaction, you've pursued something that can be easily lost. Or perhaps you've realized or experienced the unthinkable, and in seeking revenge, you hope to fill the emptiness inside.
Many people spend their lives trying to capture satisfaction in a variety of forms.
But instead of placing your trust on an ideal that one bad trading day, or one bad hair day, or one mad bomber can disrupt so easily, why not place it on someone who will not fail you. Yes, I'm talking about God, the Biblical God and a hope that transcends our simple lives.
