Last week, my Bible reading included this passage and I have not been able to get away from it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"May<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Those who are \u201clovers of their own selves\u201d live to please themselves. At first, that sounds like the pathway to happiness but in reality, the exact opposite is true. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having a \u201cme first\u201d attitude will only leave an individual empty inside. Their continual searching…searching…searching for fulfillment drives them further and further away from the only true source of JOY – that Source is JESUS!! \"\u2764\ufe0f\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have never been saved, come to Jesus! He loves you so much that He gave His life for you! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.\u201d \u202d\u202dJohn\u202c \u202d3:16\u202c \u202d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trust in Him today and discover true joy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are saved but have drifted away from the Lord, come BACK to the only One Who can give you true JOY! Come back to Jesus! Fall in love with Him once again. Live for Him!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.\u201d\u202d\u202d 2 Corinthians\u202c \u202d5:15\u202c \u202d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
