They who know Christ as their Savior have something far better than anything you can find in this world. They are too rich to care for money, too happy to hunt up the world's pleasures, and have an inner satisfaction, a joy and peace that cannot be found here.
Drugs, alcohol and giving in to the lusts which come from within, all give only temporary relief; they destroy health, and often result in the destruction of the mind, and in death. They are not the answer.
Those who have the Lord Jesus Christ as their own precious Savior know what it is to really live! All those hard-to-be-understood longings and yearnings within us are fully satisfied, and we are truly happy.
The Apostle Paul could say, "I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ
Jesus my Lord... that I may win Christ, and be found in Him... that I may know Him." Phil. 3:8, 9, 108Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, 9And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: 10That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; (Philippians 3:8‑10).
We can know "Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think." Eph. 3:2020Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, (Ephesians 3:20). To know the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior gives a settled peace and joy that nothing on earth can rival.
Come to Him and be truly happy! Then you can say as the Apostle Paul did, "To me to live is Christ." Phil. 1:2121For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. (Philippians 1:21).
