              Boris Becker, the famous tennis star, was at the very top
of the tennis world. Yet despite all of his success, he was on the brink of
suicide. He was quoted,

                  
                 
                         
                        . in Christ you have been brought to fullness. He
is the head over every power and authority. 
                        - Colossians 2:10 
                       
                 
                 
                 
              "I was rich. I had all the material possessions I needed.
It's the old song of movie stars and pop stars who commit suicide. They
have everything, and yet they are so unhappy. I had no inner peace. I was a
puppet on a string."

            You don't have to read many biographies to find this very
same kind of frustration and disappointment. The famous author Jack
Higgins, for example, was asked what he would like to have known as a boy.
His answer: "That when you get to the top, there's nothing there."

            There are so many people today who believe that if they can
simply do this or that, then their lives will be fulfilled. Yet they're
sorely disappointed when they reach their goal and discover that the view
from the top isn't as great as they thought it would be.

            Maybe you thought your life at this stage would be better or
more exciting than it has been. Many may have even grown cynical about life
itself because they've decided it's not what it should be. The solution to
this problem is to look to Christ, not the world, to fulfill you. He is the
one who gives you fullness and the only remedy to any emptiness you feel
inside! 
            Prayer Challenge
            Ask God to change your perspective from looking to the world
for fulfillment to finding your fullness in Christ alone.
