You were wired by the Creator to experience unspeakable, unstoppable, unending joy. This chapter shows us the antidote for depression, fear and anxiety and gives a prescription that fills the deepest longing of the human heart.
C.S. Lewis said that as humans, we are far too easily satisfied and he was right. We settle for counterfeits and caricatures, circumstantial happiness, fleeting pleasures, meaningless accomplishments. And at it the end of the day, the nagging nothingness remains, reminding us of the cry of the human heart. Well God understands that longing. He put it there. For a reason. For himself.
Philippians 3:17-21 NIV
17 Join with others in following my example, brothers, and take note of those who live according to the pattern we gave you. 18 For, as I have often told you before and now say again even with tears, many live as enemies of the cross of Christ. 19 Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach, and their glory is in their shame. Their mind is on earthly things. 20 But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, 21 who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body.
