When Life Comes Up Empty
Are you trying to use money, relationships, and your job for purposes they were not made for? We want jobs that fulfill us, relationships to satisfy us, and experiences that mesmerize us. When we pursue these things to gain something, they fail. But when we receive them as gifts, we enjoy a life of thanksgiving and the joy of contentment. ABOUT THIS SERIES: If life sometimes seems empty and meaningless, you aren't alone. One Preacher in the bible even agrees. He surveys his life's great accomplishments and successes, and sees that ultimately, it's all in vain. So what is the point of living? He concludes that in the end, when we live our lives not simply "under the sun," but "unto the Son," all that is meaningless in life takes on great meaning, even eternal meaning, and gives us much to live and hope for.
