There is no lasting earthly satisfaction. Marriage, friend, family, money, fame, enlightment, travel, athletics, academic achievement—nothing complete our joy. Any satisfaction we gain in our quest fades quickly and become a vague memory. If it can be remembered at all.
Oh, to be sure, they are a lot of happy events along the way, unexpected are fleeting and we can never go back in time to relive them and recapture the sensation. Why then do we keep seeking for something to satisfy us? Simply put it’s because we have to. Whether we realize it or not, out souls are thirsting for God. Every aspiration, every longing of our nature is nothing less than a yearning for God. We were born for His love and we cannot live without it. He is the happiness for which we have been searching all our lives. Everything that we desire is found in Him and infinitely more.
John 7:37 says “Come to me and drink”. JESUS invitation. So, when you find yourself restless and thirsting for something more in life, all we need to do is respond to JESUS invitation. Go to Him, Drink freely of His grace and forgiveness and experience true JOY.
