This past Saturday was the opening day of deer season. I set my alarm for 5:15 A.M., but I wasn't even able to wait that long. A little before 5:00, I got up, got my stuff together, and headed for the woods. For four hours strait I saw nothing more than a few squirrels, while only a few hundred yards away my cousin shot a 12 point buck - the biggest deer of his life. Countless people go hunting each year, but only a few leave with that trophy buck.

Think of it this way: approximately 6.5 billion people in this world are searching for the truth. They look to every possible source of happiness, yet are unable to find it. They seek, but in all the wrong places; they knock, but on the wrong door. All the while, there is a select few who have found the truth: Jesus Christ. I guess you could say that "...many are called, but few are chosen" (Matthew 22:14).

If you know the Lord Jesus, just remember that there is a world full of people out there that are trying to find what you have. Don't try to hide the light that God has put in you. A city on a hill cannot be hid (Matthew 5:14).



As a side note, a while back I was doing a google search, and I typed in "What is the..." When I did this, a drop down list of popular searches appeared. Out of all the questions that begin with those words, the most commonly asked was "What is the meaning of life?" That story should motivate every Christian to get out there and share the Gospel before this open door that we have closes.
