I previously spoke about how the world speaks of reaching certain goals in order to be happy, but I am here to tell you that it will never leave you satisfied. I noticed that some people that are idolised in this life are not truly happy, I have listened to songs where they are questioning what next. I believe it is an amazing thing to have goals and aspirations for your life, but what happens after you have reached that specific goal? You start to write down new goals that you want to achieve. There is nothing wrong with that however, that should never be where your source of joy and happiness derives from because those things will never leave you satisfied. Recently, I achieved a goal of mine that I have had for years and although I was extremely happy and grateful to God about it. I found myself asking what’s next.
It was in that moment when I thought to myself – its only God that can truly be the source of my happiness. A lot of us are in situations where we have dreams and goals to reach and that is amazing, but we should never neglect the fact that those things should never be your source of joy and happiness. Anything is capable of leaving you, but God will never leave you – it says in Hebrews 13:5 (ESV) “Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you”. Other things may disappoint us or make us feel unfulfilled, but God is the only one that promises that he will never leave nor forsake us and I will put my trust in the one who promises to never let us go.
The question that I will leave with you here is – are you truly satisfied with only God?
