It’s amazing. The peace. The satisfaction. The joy. The contentment; that comes from finding my satisfaction in HIM alone.
Finding satisfaction in HIM above all other things and people.
Things like my to do lists,
my expectations,
my will,
my emotions,
my love for food,
my desire to be accepted and loved unconditionally,
my hopes and dreams.
Even above the most important people in my life:
Husband,
Kids,
Family,
Friends.
I always thought that I knew what it meant. That I was satisfied in Him. Until this week.
I’m finding peace like I’ve never experienced (not that it is about the experience, but life is full of them, right? He must be the focus in the experience, though).
He longs to satisfy every part of us. To fill every corner of our heart and mind. Is there something in your life today that you LOVE more than Him? That you find satisfaction in, more than HIM?
You will NOT truly live in holiness and lasting peace until you remove your desperate need for that thing/person (if it is stronger than your desire for HIM). There will always be a gaping wound in your soul.
You will always be searching, and never finding.
Until you find HIM, as your one true source of satisfaction. AGREE? DISAGREE?
He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.
He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.
