Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Matthew 11:28 KJV
It seems that all around me I see people searching for answers, seeking peace and finding none. Looking for happiness in a pill, a bottle, and others places, but still finding none. They find a little bit of pleasure in those "highs" but it soon wears off and they are worse than before they started. That will always be the case because the word of God teaches that there is pleasure in sin, but only for a season. Moses knew this long ago.
Hebrews 11:24 By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter;
25 Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;
The only path that leads to true happiness, true pleasure, true joy and peace is Jesus Christ. Once you have a relationship with Jesus, you realize that you have a peace and contentment in you that money could not buy, drugs could not fill, women or men could not satisfy. If you ever walk away from Christ after having known him, you will always be miserable seeking to get that relationship back again, because Christ is peace and he fills your life with joy unspeakable. He does not expect you to come to him already perfect, he knows all about you. He said come if you labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest. Many preachers say, come as you are. God knows you are not perfect. When preachers use this phrase, they are not saying it's ok to remain as you are, they are letting you know that God already knows you and he still bids you to come. Once you have a relationship with Christ, the old man will change and you will become a new person.
2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

I invite you today to come. Get to know Jesus. Repent of the sin in your life and build a relationship with him. If you are seeking peace, joy and happiness, then come.
Revelation 22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
