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
