Hebrews 13:14 (NIV)
14 For here we do not have an enduring city, but
we are looking for the city that is to come.
One of the basic desires of the soul is to live on and on.
Self-preservation is the first law of nature. People may grow tired of aches
and pains and the decrepitude of old age, but they do not grow tired of life
itself. God has arranged to satisfy this yearning of the soul to live forever,
and the desire to be free from pain and sickness and trouble. People are little
creatures with big capacities, finite beings with infinite desires, deserving
nothing but demanding all. God made people with this huge capacity and desire
in order that He might come in and completely satisfy that desire. God made the
human heart so big that only He can fill it. He made it demand so much that
only He can supply that demand . . . Jesus Christ is the only one who holds the
keys of death. In His death and resurrection He took the sting out of death,
and now God offers eternal life to every person who puts his trust and faith in
His Son Jesus Christ.
Thought for today:
Do I trust God to fill my heart?
