Ever been addicted? Have you ever been so into something that nothing this world can offer will make you let it go?

I’ve been addicted to many things. Some of them include comics, Tekken, Magic cards, DoTA, Warcraft, TV, etc… but right now, I’m addicted to something far worse… something which removes me from my physical plane of existence and places me above all these things… I’m addicted to God

Chasing the impossible.
Believing the unbelievable.

Receiving the inconceivable.
Seeing beyond my wildest imagination.

Such is the promise for all those who would call themselves addicted to the One who made the heavens and the earth. Who actively chase after God with the aim of being closer to Him. Who are so in love with Jesus that all this world can offer seems dim, bland, and dull. Such is the excitement of the person who says: "I want to know Christ and the power of His resurrection, the fellowship of sharing in His suffering, becoming like Him in His death so that somehow I may attain the resurrection of the dead."

What can this world offer me that is more than what God has promised? What can a world of death offer a man given life? What can imperfection offer to one who is chasing perfection?

It’s like offering a can of sardines when a net bursting with fish is available. Like offering a loaf of bread to someone who has been given 12 basketfuls.

So bring it on, all the world’s joys, desires, longings, dreams, and aspirations. They can never compare to the joy of chasing God.

I want to know Christ.
