The urge that makes one man a drunkard, another a philosopher,
the restlessness that fills
the dance hall and the gambling resort, the roadhouse and the movies, and all
the other
places of pleasure is the heart's search for reality, that universal quest of
the ages, the spirit's
search for the Holy Grail.
They do not realize that the real man can never be permanently satisfied with
the things of
the senses, for Man is a spirit being. He has a soul. He lives in a body.
They do not know that the hunger is spiritual, that it is a search after something
that only
God can give. No person reaches the place of rest in the spirit until they have
made that contact.
No one finds it until they contact the Man, Christ Jesus, and crown Him as the
Lord of their life.
That moment the search ends, they have arrived. They may not be conscious of
what it is, but
they know that the pleasures that they once sought have lost their taste and
attraction.
It is a fact that the boy or girl that finds this thing in the teen-age never
sows wild oats, has no
great urge for the dangerous pleasures of the world. They have something that
answers that cry.
That something is the fellowship of the Holy Spirit Who dwells into everybody
that believes that Jesus is the Christ of God, and the only means of Salvation.
Acts 4:12
