You aren't designed to find satisfaction here on earth. If you think you're, oh, I'm so satisfied, I have everything I want and need. There's no person on the planet who would say that. Those that would say that are in a scary place. And I guarantee you they're not satisfied about some aspect, something in their lives, because God doesn't want us to be. He doesn't want us to say, oh, this is home. This is so satisfying. Great. I'm good. I'm done. He wants us to pursue Him, to find satisfaction in Jesus Christ.
