So, I am sitting here out in a cool breeze looking out over a beautiful, tree lined field at the 5F Ranch, typing this on my mom's iPhone. I m watching an armadillo search the field for food a couple hundred yards away. The breeze is cool and strong. It is a good moment. Still, my heart is tinged with longing. I long for more heart, more affection, more friends, more of Him. It never stops.
It reminds me of something I have been thinking about lately, and that is the truth about satisfaction and God. All my life, I have been told that I would find no satisfaction apart from God, that I could find it in Him. So, what do think has been the outcome of the fact that I have not yet reached satisfaction, nor have I found any one else who is satisfied in this life? I have done what most others have, doubt God. Maybe not His existence, but His promise, which, is pretty much the same as doubting His existence. You have probably had something similar occur. Well, the problem isn't God, it is us. God is the only wellspring of satisfaction. Our hearts are simply incapable of holding it right now. Heaven will see our hearts made true. Nothing will blind us then. Until then though, Jesus is our only HOPE for satisfaction. In that there is no let down.
This is wonderful! Thank you so much Nick Peggy Ford
