"If only I had. . . . .this or that or the other . . . .I would be complete!"
Maybe if you are struggling to find satisfaction in things of this life...maybe you should seek to find it in Jesus.
And if you are struggling to find satisfaction in Christ, honestly ask yourself are you focused on your circumstances..what you do or don't have..where you are or are not...or are you focused on the Lord?
If Jesus is not enough for you now..where you currently live..in this situation, in these circumstances..will He ever be enough..when you move on to the next "good" thing..or the next "great"..or the next "for real this time greatest" thing? Will Jesus be enough?
Many people simply tumble from a discontented life today saying "If only I had this" to a discontented life tomorrow singing the same tune. But a person who is content in the Lord today will be transformed into a joyful person tomorrow.
Because Christ fills them..and then they can focus on pouring love into and helping others rather than focusing on what they can get from others.
There's a song by Jason Nelson.."In Him do I live, move, and have my being..cause I'm nothing without You"..when you can sing that song and mean it..you will be complete!
---------
Whom have I in heaven but you?
And earth has nothing I desire besides you.
My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart
and my portion forever.
Ps 73:25-26
