Not satisfied!
Do you ever feel not
satisfied?
Why is it that church
is not satisfying to me?
Why is it that having
family worship is not satisfying?
Why is it that life
feels so dull?
It feels like there’s
nothing that will satisfy me!
Why is it that going
for a walk is not satisfying for me?
Why do I feel like
this?
Is there any thing
that will satisfy me?
I feel like a two
year old lost in the store!!
Why do I feel like
this, I ask my self over and over?
I mean, I have always
been a good Christian, I think!
But something is
wrong!!
Have you ever felt
like that, not satisfied?
I have every thing I
need, plus some!
But that’s not
satisfying me!
I go to church every
Sabbath, I don’t watch movies, I don’t play video games, I don’t eat eggs, I
don’t sleep in church, I don’t go to taco bell on Sabbath, it seems like I’m a
good person!!
So what is it?
Maybe it’s my brothers
or my sister!
But no, it’s not
them!
It’s me!!
But I thought that I
was a good person?!
So why would it be
me?
What did Jesus mean
when he said, go ye in to all the world, and preach the gospel to every
creature?
Well, maybe that
means that I can go for a month or two to the mission field?
That would be too
hard to be a full time missionary!
I need to get a new
car, I need to get a new camera, I need to get a new laptop, and I need to get
a good paying job, I need to buy a house, I need and I need!
I’m sure that God
would not expect me to not buy a new car, I’m sure that he would not expect me
to give up all, just to be a missionary!!
But what did he mean
when he said, go ye into all the world and preach the gospel?
I guess that means
that I need to give up all and follow him!!
He gave all for me!
This world is not my
home, I’m just passing through, my treasures are laid up some where beyond the
blue!!
Oh I see now, my
treasures are not in this world, they’re in heaven!
So then why do I feel
not satisfied?
I need to give all of
my life’s goals and desires to God!
I need to put my hand
in His hand and say, here I am Lord, send me!
I need to forsake
all, and pick up my cross, and follow him with all my soul!!
When I think about it, it seems selfish for me
to want a new car, or a new iPhone, when there are people that don’t even have
a pair of shoes!!
Ye are the light of
the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid!
Matthew 5-14
Search me, O God, and
know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:
And see if there be
any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting!
Psalm 139-23-24
Lets follow God with
all our hearts; there is no time to lose!!
Arron: Very profound. The first Apostles went forth with the cloths on their back, and trusted Jesus totally, and it worked! They turned the world upside down!
ReplyDeleteThank you Arron for sharing. Your message spoke to my heart.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely true! When we serve self, we can never be satisfied, it's only in serving others that we can find true satisfaction!
