Psalm 16:11 – …you will fill me with joy in your presence…
The lie is: “I should not have to live with unfulfilled longings.” Culture teaches this. God’s Word does not teach this. THE TRUTH is that we will always have some kind of unfulfilled longings on this side of Heaven. God’s Word teaches us the importance of contentment. The deepest longings of our heart cannot be filled by any person or thing. People and circumstances will never make us happy. Only Jesus truly satisfies (Ps. 34:8-10). “We must learn to surrender our unsatisfied longings to God and look to Him to meet the deepest needs of our hearts.” What unfulfilled longing is driving your behavior today? What do you need to surrender to the Lord and step away from? Open your hand and heart and let the Lord replace that hard pursuit with a grace and goodness and contentment that can come only from a divine interaction between you and the Lord. Learn the lessons of “letting go” and placing your trust wholly in Jesus.
