Never Satisfied

Philippians 4:11
Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.

You've just finished a nice dinner and are fully satisfied. Is there any better feeling than being hungry and having that hunger satisfied? Don't misunderstand me now. I'm not talking about stuffing yourself so much until you feel miserable. No I'm talking about being hungry and eating until that hunger is satisfied. That is a great feeling that not everyone has the privilege of knowing. Some never know it because of over eating. Some because they don't have anything to eat.

Let me share a story with you from when I was younger. I was the child that always wanted more. Not at the dinner table, well maybe sometimes, but in all things. If there was one of something I wanted another. Well my dad tried to whip it out of me and mom would try also but this attitude never left. My dad would always say, "Never satisfied!" To which I always rolled my eyes and thought he didn't know what he was talking about.

He was right! I was always missing something more. There were always great things happening to me but I wanted something more because it never satisfied me. I was the one who over ate on everything the world offered. I was the one who didn't eat right because I didn't have Christ. But then I surrendered my life to Jesus Christ and suddenly there was a satisfaction in my soul. Sure, I still want things at times but I have found out that if it is not something needed then I will be content.

Some will tell you that you need a Snicker bar, but I know what you need... a Savior. Thank you Jesus for the satisfaction of my heart.
