Conclusion
Tom Brady’s story of success yet emptiness.
“Why do I have 3 Super Bowl rings and still
think there’s something greater out there for
me? I mean, maybe a lot of people would
say, ‘Hey man this is what it is all about. I
reached my goal, my dream, my life.’ Me, I
think: there’s got to be more than this. I
mean this can’t be what it’s all cracked up to
be. I mean, I’ve done it. I’m 27. And what
else is there for me?” – Tom Brady
Ultimate longing of every heart = Heaven.
Jesus said: John 14:6 – He is the way to Heaven.
