In the movie Sing 2, U2’s lead singer and songwriter, Bono, voices the character Clay Calloway.
Calloway is a world famous performer who has become a recluse after tragedy struck his life.
In his journey to rediscover his passion for performing, hearing one of his old songs inspires him to return to the stage.
Bono has long described the lyrics to the song, I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For, as a gospel hymn with a restless spirit.
I have climbed the highest mountains
I have run through the fields
Only to be with you
Only to be with you.
I have run, I have crawled
I have scaled these city walls
These city walls
Only to be with you.
But I still haven’t found
What I’m looking for.
But I still haven’t found
What I’m looking for.
In Matthew 13:44-46 Jesus tells two parables about what happens when those searching for the Kingdom of Heaven finally find it.
“The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field.
“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls.
When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it.
The Kingdom of Heaven is everything you’ve been searching for.
Prayer: Lord, I admit I’ve been searching for the things of this world that will always leave me longing. Today I turn to You and look towards an eternity seeking the wonders of Your Kingdom.
Action: Do you feel like you’re searching for something you can’t quite find? Take a day and unplug from your usual inputs (social media,tv,etc.) In a quiet moment let His grace and mercy fill the void in your heart.
