Nothing Can Satisfy You

The human flesh is a powerful thing; we must not follow our flesh, but our hearts; for if Christ is at the center of your world, it is He who is in your heart, and it is He whom you will follow.  

We as human beings desire to be loved, that is obvious. We find ourselves searching for love, but why search for love when we already have someone who loves us more than we could ever imagine? We've all been told at some point or another that God loves us. But how do we know that? Well, God sent His ONLY Son to earth to die for us. Christ DIED for us, for me, for you. He knew exactly what was going to happen to Him and He did it anyway, because He loves you. I don’t know about you, but, that’s some hardcore lovin’ right there. 

So, if we already have someone who loves us so much that He would die for us, why do we keep searching for more? Is Christ not enough? We try finding love in money, in popularity, in boys, and in other materialistic things. Then, when we have all of these things, everything we claim to want, we still find ourselves yearning for more. We find ourselves yearning for more because when Christ isn't all you want, when HE isn't at the center of your life, NOTHING will satisfy you. Not money, not cars, not your boyfriend, not your friends; only Christ can and will fulfill you. 

So, the next time you find yourself yearning for more, try looking to Christ, and not the things of this world. I can guarantee that you'll find yourself a lot happier. 

St. John Paul II once said something that will stay with me forever, and I wish to leave you with that today: 

“It is Jesus you seek when you dream of happiness; He is waiting for you when nothing else you find satisfies you; He is the beauty to which you are so attracted; it is He who provoked you with that thirst for fullness that will not let you settle for compromise; it is He who urges you to shed the masks of a false life; it is He who reads in your heart your most genuine choices, the choices that others try to stifle. 

It is Jesus who stirs in you the desire to do something great with your lives, the will to follow an ideal, the refusal to allow yourselves to be ground down by mediocrity, the courage to commit yourselves humbly and patiently to improving yourselves and society, making the world more human and more fraternal.”
