Christina Onassis was the only daughter of Aristotle Onassis, the Greek shipping magnate who amassed the world’s largest privately-owned shipping fleet.
After her father’s death in 1975, Christina became the heiress to the Onassis family fortune. However, despite all her inherited wealth, Christina Onassis lived a short and sad life. She was dubbed the “poor little rich girl” because she was always so unhappy. In 1973, her only sibling, Alexander had died in a plane crash and her mother died a year after.
As the only surviving member of her immediate family, Christina inherited all the wealth. She lived in absolute luxury and indulgence, hoping to find happiness. She occasionally spent $30,000 to send a private jet from Argentina to America to buy her Diet Cokes. When friends said they were too busy to spend time with her, Christina would give them cash, as much as $30,000 a month, to clear their schedules so they could come and stay with her.
Yet all the money could not buy her happiness. In her short life, she married and divorced four times and struggled with eating disorders and weight problems.
By age 30 she was diagnosed with clinical depression and by age 38 she died in Argentina on November 19, 1988.. Her death was due to a heart attack brought on by years of drug abuse.
Many people think that having enough money will make them happy, but the truth is that you can have all the money and indulge in all your heart’s desires, and still not be fulfilled.
You can climb to the top of the corporate ladder, own homes on multiple continents, and have a bank account bursting at the seams, but still be depressed.
Therefore as we seek breakthroughs and enduring success, we must always remember that true peace and joy only comes from walking in communion with God.
When you invest your life in seeking God and living for His glory, His presence will continually fill your life with joy and peace. As His blessings overflow into your life, they will make you rich without adding sorrow with it. [Proverbs 10:22].
Those who struggle and get rich by following the way of the world only end up with unfulfilment and loss of true joy.
Without Christ holding us up, it is difficult to bear the pain that accompanies the struggles of this life. The joy of the Lord is what gives us the strength and power to overcome the world.
Many people today are trying to shoulder their struggles alone and they are ending up depressed and oppressed.
But through abiding in God’s presence, we operate from the place of fullness of joy, where we are strengthened to overcome the trials and tribulations in the world.
While we seek to succeed, let us always place God first in all our endeavors. Prioritizing God’s presence in our lives will make us triumphant, victorious, filled with joy and truly breaking forth on every side..
PRAYER
Lord, please help me to make You my greatest priority in life. While I work towards success, let nothing ever distract me from seeking first Your kingdom above all else in Jesus Name.
QUOTE;
When you make God your priority, God automatically makes you priority in His own plan. – WORDBITE 222.
