Hang on. Slow down. Carry on and read this. This might be for you.


I will give you anything you desire. Anything. Perfect love. Eternal peace. You will never be afraid or alone. No confusion will enter your mind. No anxiety or boredom will enter your heart. You will never lack for anything.
There will be no sin. No guilt. No rules. No expectations. No failure. You will never be lonely. You will never hurt. You will never die.
Only you will never see my face.

Would you want it?
A painless, deathless eternity will be nice, but inadequate. A world shot with splendor would stagger us, but it's not what we seek.


We are not satisfied.
As a child we say, "If only I were a teenager." As a teen we say, "If only I were an adult." As an adult, "If only I were married." As a spouse, "If only I had kids." As parent, "If only my kids were grown." In an empty house, "If only the kids would visit." As a retiree in the rocking chair with stiff joints and fading sight, "If only I were a child again."

Because there is nothing on earth that cam satisfy our deepest longing. We long to see God. The leaves of life are rustling with the rumor that we will- and we won't be satisfied until we do.

We can't be satified. Not because we are greedy, but because we are hungry for something not found on this earth. Only God can satisfy. Philip was right when he said, "Lord, show us the Father. That is all we need." John 14:8
