The reason none of our earth-investments have been able to satisfy the thirst in our heart is because we've been trying to get from them what we were supposed to get from a personal relationship with our Creator - which we have totally missed. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Amos%208:12&version=NIV 2009-09-25T10:16:35-05:00 Left on our own, we'll search and search for God's truth but not find it. To find God's truth requires help--from God Himself! Fortunately, He freely offers His salvation to us, with the promise of a relationship with Him. http://hutchcraft.com/Life-Issues/Searching/The-Key-That-s-Right-in-Front-of-You 2008-11-24T15:33:11-05:00 In a sense, our whole life is a search for a key. We are looking for a key that will answer some of life's bottom line questions like "Why am I here? How can I find love that I won't lose and a relationship that I can totally trust? ... How can I find lasting peace? What happens after I die?" We look a lot of places for answers. http://hutchcraft.com/Life-Issues/Searching/The-Top-of-Life-s-Puzzle-Box 2008-11-24T15:32:16-05:00 Life is often described as being like a puzzle. There are so many pieces—family, friendship, romance, financial, school, work, success, and even failure pieces. You often wonder where you are going in life, who you really are, and what all the pieces of the puzzle mean. ... The solution to the puzzle is found on the top of the puzzle box http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Most-Important-Relationship/Getting-Up-Close-and-Personal-4215 2008-08-25T12:57:12-05:00 Even babies seem to know that there's something about touching a person's face that is especially intimate. Psychologists tell us that they're right, and that even in romantic affection, touching the face is one of the most meaningful levels of physical intimacy. It's no wonder babies know to seek our face. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Mission/Getting-Left-to-Get-Found-3804 2008-07-30T16:53:50-05:00 You're probably not a Girl Scout, and you're not stuck out in the woods, but it could be that you have been left...or you're feeling lost. A person you were counting on has bailed out...or maybe even died. Or something that has been one of your life anchors suddenly isn't there any more. You've been left out or left behind or left high and dry. And you're not sure which way home is. Because so much in life is temporary, it's only a matter of time before we all experience the pain of being left or being lost. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Life-That-Matters/Radio-Program/Rocky-and-Rambo-Still-Fighting-8015 2008-07-24T16:44:30-05:00 You know, it does seem like there is this emptiness that follows us in every season of our life. It’s this un-fillable hole in our soul; this like never ending search for what will give us a life that matters.
