Jesus often asked people: "What are you looking for'?
Bono hasn't found what he's looking for yet. Most of us are still seeking...something.
If Jesus asked me this question today, how would I answer? Here are my responses.
- PEACE. Deep in my soul I want peace with my Creator (which I actually have in my following of Jesus Christ). However I also want peace within myself and for this fractured, tortured world.
- PURPOSE: There is a purpose that peace with God brings to me, though admittedly I often wander away from it. Yet I sense there is more to it, and I am not talking about a some kind of grand, earth-shaking purpose - but the knowledge that my everyday engagements, loves and interests are not meaningless. I know that all of life is God's and therefore has meaning. However I want to embrace that truth in my everyday, and be content in it.
- WONDER: I live on the 3rd rock from the Sun, in a vast, unfathomable universe, surrounded on this planet - and in my own yard - with amazing life, beauty and mystery. I want wonder rekindled in me.
