There are thousands of people who admit and confess that they are unhappy.
Economic security, recreation, pleasure and a good community in which to live have not brought about peace and happiness that man expected. The reason is that man was created in the image of God and cannot find complete rest, happiness, joy and peace until he comes back to God
God made man. Man was shaped in His own image. Man was made in the likeness and image of the Creator. God has a purpose in making man. His primary purpose was that man would have fellowship with Him. If man does not have fellowship with God, he is lost, confused and puzzled. Since man does not find his place, he has a sense of not fitting.
1 John 1 : 3Abraham Lincoln once said
….. our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ
I am sorry for the man who can’t feel the whip when it is laid on the other man’s back.
Nowadays we could hardly be described as conducive to a sensitiveness of the needs of others. We have developed a cover of sophistication and hardness. Many of us are calloused and indifferent toward mankind’s poverty and sickness.
The truth is :
We must experience a rebirth, to become sensitive to the needs of others Unless our hearts are conditioned by the Holy Spirit to receive and reflect the warmth of God’s compassion, we cannot love our fellowmen as we ought.
1 John 2 : 10
Whoever loves his brother lives in the light, and there is nothing in him to make him stumble.
