He thought everything he needed was in one location. He was wrong. He searched quite a long time for two memory cards. Hours later, he found them.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>How often do we do the same thing when it comes to the important things in our day-to-day lives? I would say far too many times. We search for relief. We search for happiness. We search for popularity. We search for purpose. We search for someone. We search for anything and everything. We search for truth.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you feel as if this searching scene has brought you to the end of your rope, might I suggest that it\u2019s time to stop searching? Might I suggest that you can find everything you need in Jesus?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Jesus spoke these words in John 14:6 (NIV). <em>\u201cI am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you are searching for the path to take, Jesus is the Way.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you are searching for real answers to life\u2019s tough questions, Jesus is the Truth.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you are searching for real meaning, Jesus is the Life.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no need to search any further. Stop right here with Jesus. In Him you will find everything you\u2019ve been searching for.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Grace and peace be yours in abundance,<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Donna<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; I\u2019ve spent a while searching for a specific video this morning.
