Without hope? …
In the news today was a story about actor David Carradine being found dead in Thailand.
The story went on to say it appeared the 75-year-old actor had hanged himself using a cord from the curtains in his hotel suite.
How do you come to a place where you become a household name from making famous a fictional character on television, with all the hopes of Hollywood stardom, to taking your own life in a place like Thailand?
Dreams abound — and are dashed daily — in Hollywood, but Carradine had reasonable success in his stint as an actor.
Perhaps that was the problem: at the end of worldly dreams we discover the false allure really leads to emptiness.
Nothing — absolutely nothing — fulfills the life of any human being other than our Creator, the Lord Jesus Christ!
We may try many, many things, but nothing can quench the soul, bless us with genuine fulfillment, and bring us peace other than knowing, loving, and serving God.
There are a lot of David Carradine’s out there … people who have run out of hope. Or they may have chased, and gotten their “dream,” only to be deeply disappointed.
The single greatest need of all humanity is to have a saving relationship with Jesus Christ.
What are doing to help those who, like Carradine was, are hurting and losing hope?
What can you do?
What will you do?
