ONLY JESUS CAN SATISFY

“Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!  For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.  Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron;”

Psalm 107:8-10 KJV

Evangelist Clara Tear Williams wrote one of my favorite hymns “Satisfied”.  The words in this hymn are why I have such joy in my heart.  “Hallelujah!  I have found Him Whom my soul so long has craved!  Jesus satisfies my longings, Through His blood I now am saved.”  Thank God for the redeeming blood of Jesus.

People drink alcohol, do drugs, have sex, and all other things which hurt Jesus and break His heart trying to find happiness.  None of these things bring happiness or satisfies the longing in our heart to be loved unconditionally.  Only Jesus can satisfy the longing in our heart to be loved unconditionally.

If you have been trying these things that hurt Jesus hoping they will satisfy you and give you happiness, stop it.  I have said this many times and will say it until the day I die.  No one loves you like Jesus loves you and no one ever will.  Jesus loves you unconditionally and He is longing to give you happiness.

Heavenly Father, I pray for everyone who is hurting, lonely, brokenhearted and searching for happiness.  Please comfort and encourage them as You have me so many times.  Help them to realize there is only one true happiness and joy and His Name is Jesus.  Thank You for caring.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
