‘I used to think that I would find rest if only I had such and such a thing. But I’ve discovered that this too is a lie as many other lies which Satan has peddled before me. Pleasures of this life do not bring rest. They may bring a temporary satisfaction to the human soul but beyond the soul is a deeper recess that human pleasures cannot satisfy. Sex brings pleasure for a fleeting moment and there are times when the desire for sex overshadows and be clouds every other desire. But after the fleeting pleasure is over, the man is returned back to his normal restless void. What did that pleasure achieve? Nothing. Some others have sought the pleasure in amassing large amounts of property; others have sought pleasure in building a huge empire that anchors around their name; others still have sought the pleasures of human beauty or human health- but after these goals are reached, the void is still empty. During the pursuit of the pleasure, life has meaning because the meaning of life had been tied to the achievement of a pleasure which was meant to bring rest. But sad to say, for those who have had the privilege of achieving those pleasurable goals, they are left wondering: ‘why did I spend all my life chasing this? There’s got to be more?’ Indeed, there is more; much more than this life can give and only those who discover this early, turn away from the pursuit of pleasure to the pursuit of God, when pleasures come, they talk is as one of the little blessings that come from the Almighty Creator to help us in the journey towards knowing Him, but they never pause to drink in pleasure or caress the pleasurables of this life. They know there is a PLEASURE that does not come from things or men and for this ultimate pleasure, one must strive and live. True rest is found by those who are restless with earthly pleasures because they know their rest comes from beyond those pleasures.’
