Are you truly satisfied?

As much as it is a soul searching post and gut busting for me, and as cheezy as this question may seem to you, are you satisfied?

Have you had this question resonating in you head like I did?

True satisfaction can be such a great desire in someone's heart that it yearns for it. Like mine. I surely have been yearning for it. I think ever since that I realized that grasses are always greener on the other side I have yearned to be filled. I feel my heart's content being revealed from old experiences and I have come to realize that for many years, I have allowed this wondering heart to look for it in all the wrong places. places I'm not proud of. from consuming friends to family to other relationships, fame and waddling in sins of envy, jealousy, from self-centredness and lust. what a confession huh? haha.. pheww..

ALL THIS friends, was abuse just for an exchange to be truly and fully satisfied; I'm sure many of you can resonate with me in this. When I think back about it, a deep clarity of truly knowing the depth of a yearning soul would come to me. it is truly powerful. One of the most magnificent masterpiece of God's creation in unique human beings when He called us 'fearfully and wonderfully made' in the Psalms.

Yet what's is so dangerous about is that it I feel like it imitates our deceitful heart. It takes us to places that is of instant gratification that abusively leaves us craving for more, like with my past struggles. These places of greed, self-centredness and lust that our soul dies not to go yet our own flesh is too weak to let them go.

The wonder of the soul is not merely because its strength to yearn but because of its power to be filled. our soul is a vehicle to the satisfaction of our heart. the creator of this soul says in Psalm 23:2 that, ' I shall not be in want'. I was watching on TV, a sermon clip from Pastor John Hagee this week and he said that God is able to keep this ever thirsting soul from being in want because He alone can fill the needs this soul could ever yearn for. ;D

Wow, I was deeply encouraged. My desire to share about this weak spirit of mine and raw choices that I have made in the past is so that you will be encouraged to come close to this God that truly satisfies and not have to be consumed by wants. a genuine release of .. PHEEWWWW.. :) lemme hear an amen ..

thanks for reading :)
