One of the great advantages of coming to the end of yourself is that there is nowhere else to go but to God, to find from him the satisfaction that is otherwise unavailable in life. Sadly, most of us have to relearn this lesson again and again. We enjoy sweet times of communion with the Lord only to be distracted by the siren song of our age. Hours, days, months, or even years later, we wake up like the prodigal son in the pig stye and wonder if our Heavenly Father would welcome us back home. This week, we turn to one of the most hopeful promises of Jesus: we will be satisfied! The deepest desires of our hearts, the longings of life, the hopes and dreams that we dare not even say out loud—in and through Christ we will be satisfied.
