Seeking the Good Life

Tony Bennett sang it in the 1962 Film The Seven Deadly Sins:

Oh, the good life, full of fun seems to be the ideal. 
The good life lets you hide all the sadness you feel 
Please remember I still want you and in case you wonder why? 
Well, just wake up, (and) kiss the good life goodbye 

But before Tony sang it, Jesus was declaring it,  

Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness
and all these things (The Good Life) shall be added unto you.  Matthew 6:33 (added) 

If you are still seeking the good life, if the good life you’re living is just hiding the sadness and emptiness you feel, then open your eyes to the good life you already have – God loves you – not because of what you have, or what you do, or what you have achieved, but just because of who you are – A creation of God’s handiwork.  

I pray that this will be the day you begin to seek first God’s kingdom and His Righteousness. I can promise that in seeking after this prize you will discover a prize of eternal consequence, a prize that will not lose its charm or luster.  

When you take the time to make seeking after this eternal prize your first priority, you will discover the Good Life is what you have been living ... 

Then your search can end and a lifetime of living the Good life can begin.
