Your inner craving for more, like my friend’s, should be examined. If it’s of God, your dissatisfaction can be used as a tool to propel you toward a more fulfilling life in the Lord. But if you ignore your pain until you’ve gone numb, you may be lulled into settling for a mediocre existence, even in the things that really matter.
“Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love,” wrote David, “that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days” (Ps. 90:14). In the end, the secret of satisfaction is knowing that whatever longing we feel begins and ends with Jesus, for He alone truly satisfies our souls.
