Have you ever had a burning desire that just seems to overwhelm your every thought? I’ve been in the midst of that very thing for quite some time now. Sometimes the unmet longing feels like the worst thing that could happen; it makes my entire life seem disappointing and incomplete. I’ve had the urge to pursue this dream myself, in complete disregard of the timing of God’s will, but I know I’ll only end up truly disappointed, even if I were to get what I think I want. “There are two ways to get enough: One is to accumulate more and more; the other is to desire less.” While I can constantly amass additional things, relationships, and successes, there is always room for wanting even more. The cycle is endless. But if I could only learn to desire less, the likelihood of living a fulfilling life would increase. So I guess the question becomes how do I crave less? Scripture says by going back to the one desire present in every human heart: to know God. Deep down, this innate longing I have is actually a desire for more of the Lord. I feel dissatisfed with life now because I don’t have enough of Him. Even in times where it seems I have attained everything in the material world that I’ve ever wanted–there are still periods of yearning, sadness, and emptiness. The origin of such discontent and disappointment is a raging hunger for what I can’t see and do not fully know—God. The difficult part is that I can never fully know and understand God; there will always be more to uncover about Him. But He promises to reveal more about His ways the more I fellowship with Him. Amazingly, His word reminds me that as I begin to pursue that desire for God, He’ll fulfill the other desires He’s given me.
