Have you ever wondered what you are doing with your life? I mean, what’s the purpose behind getting up and going to work every day? I had these thoughts when I was in my early twenties. I had graduated from college and moved to Boston to pursue a career in the corporate world. By worldly standards, I was doing well. I had a good job, friendships with a lot of people, and I was always invited to social gatherings on the weekends. But I had walked away from God years earlier, and I felt an emptiness that could not be filled – no matter how busy I made myself.

I spent years spinning my wheels – discontent, but too prideful to run back to Jesus. Until finally, I was invited to one of my dad’s evangelistic outreaches and my heart was softened towards the Lord.

What I ultimately came to realize was that nothing would ever satisfy me in the way God could. No job promotion or salary would be as significant as a relationship with the real and living God. The Bible says in John 14:6 that “Jesus said, I am the way, and the truth, and the life.” And it’s true! Only Jesus will bring you true peace, significance, and value. Maybe you’re stuck like I once was. If so, trust me when I say that all you need to do is turn and run to Jesus.
