Why would one be content with the eight tones of a child’s toy xylophone when a full symphony is playing?

What beauty can be found in a 1985 monochromatic computer screen after viewing the color of a retina display?

What is the satisfaction of bread and water, when one can be served from the kitchen of Emril?

Is there a thrill in a pedal car after racing around the Brickyard on Memorial Day weekend?

Where is the joy in playing Monopoly if one is Donald Trump?

Yet that is how we often live – satisfied with such lesser things when Jesus Christ Himself is the satisfier of the human soul as the Greatest of All.

When one has become captivated by true joy, holy love, everlasting peace, and complete righteousness in Jesus Christ why slum around in the gutters of illicit sex, or live in the hollow buildings of unholy offenses against one another, or pan for treasure in trinkets that are all temporal?

If for you, life is not as full, satisfying, or complete then perhaps you are beginning to realize that it is Jesus Christ for whom you are actually yearning. If you are one who knows Jesus Christ personally but there is the gnaw of discontent inside you, then be renewed in wholehearted devotion to Him and ask that He show you how much more satisfying He can be. Perhaps the pursuit of other things has distracted you from the full and satisfying pursuit of Him.
