the contentment one feels when one has fulfilled a desire, need, or expectation.
Today, many consider money, fame, power, and other materialistic objects as things that satisfy us. We constantly search and search for the one thing that gives us content. However, these things really, have no worth. They might give us temporary happiness, but they really do not fill us up. The only thing that can actually satisfy us is Christ Himself.
My Daily Testimony:
Basically, today was just a normal, regular day. I went to summer school for an hour class, waited for my mom to pick me up, and went to costco and came home. I sat around, looking for something to do. Then, with my new privileges (I can finally drive now!), I drove to Kohl's and Target, hoping to entertain myself. However, shopping was quite dull. I wasn't into it, whatsoever. I just felt so unhappy. I thought to myself, "maybe if I bought something? Then maybe I can be happy." However, after trying on about 20 clothes, and finding only two appealing, I considered buying it. But I don't know, there was just something in my heart that was telling me not to buy it. God. He told me it wasn't necessary, and I should just head home. I came home emptyhanded, and still wasn't satisfied with my monotonous day. My next best option: Watching tv. I turn it on, then lay on the couch for a good 3 hours, hoping to feel something, like a happiness of some sort. There was none, whatsoever. I didn't feel anything. Just more stress and unhappiness, and burdened for something to do. Exhausted, I went to my computer and started to talk to friends, but yet this emptiness still existed there.
but HALLELUJAH! After longing for hours, I was finally filled up with Christ Jesus! He satisfied me completely, and filled the hole in my heart.
