My Heart: Satisfaction vs Desires

The past several days we have been entertained by the sky rocketing fantasy of what we'd do if we won the Power Ball lottery. As it keeps raising in value we continue making the tent of good will bigger and bigger. Just now I am thinking,"What is enough?" At what point does satisfaction replace desire? Is that a possibility? Can satisfaction replace desire? When do we become satisfied in our hearts?

I do not think the world can satisfy the human heart. There are times when I am satisfied but they are fleeting times gone as quickly as the morning frost or the bloom on a rose. What the world has to offer will never satisfy my heart. To borrow from James Bond, "the world is not enough". The heart, my heart, your heart was created for infinity. It was created out of the dust of the earth to be the dwelling place of the infinite God. Only God can fill my heart. Only God can satisfy my heart. Since my heart was made to embrace Him, nothing less, no nothing less at all, can ever satisfy it.

Praise the Lord!

For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.   Matthew 6:21


As in water face reflects face, so the heart of man reflects the man. Proverbs 27:19


The Law and Grace

I am going to start posting things that I feel. Items that come from my heart. Please read them. If you like what you read, pass the link on. If you read something that your think someone else would like, pass it on. If you read something that you think or know someone else should hear, pass it on. Please provide some sort of feedbak to me on what  you read here. Thanks!

The following is a Facebook post of mine from two days ago. I am just now getting around to blogging it.

*******************************************************************************

The law, the Ten Commandments, were not meant to be the pathway to heaven. God knew when He wrote them down for Moses that not one son of Adam could ever keep the law. No sinner would be able to even come close. God gave the law to reveal to us, the need of grace.

Thanks be to God! 

But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.  2 Corinthians 12:9

For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.  Ephesians 2:8-9

For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under graceRomans 6:14
