So many times we find ourselves desperate for something. There will always be that desire for something more. For instance, now, for me, it is marriage. I desire to find someone to settle down with and create a nice little white-picket fence life with-but reality is, that if I recieved this desire there would soon be another to follow, perhaps kids would be next, or buying a house. It doesn't end.
The conclusion I have come to is that we must be desiring something greater than, there must be an ultimate in the desires and when we acheive it we acheive contentment. I know what it is too. It is no secret and it is nothing to hide. In fact, I want to shout it from the rooftops.
Heaven. We desire communion with our Father and time with the most high. We desire a physical hug from the one who loves us more than any other. We are not desiring a boyfriend or a house or a kitten or a Happy Meal from McDonalds, we are desiring heaven--something bigger than ourselves. For the time being we will love the next cute guys, keep checking Criag's list until that 100,000 dollar dream house comes on the market and chew on our french fries... But in the end we will find ourselves content in His embrace.
