'Somethings Missing'

We live in a society ruled by vanity and greed. Ruled by the mirror and the dollar. This is really clear in popular culture, we're all encouraged to be greedy; 'I want to be a billionaire.' 'Greed is good.'

I disagree; greed is bad. Most billionaires are still unsatisfied, John Mayer tells us (even though not a billionaire) that he's got money, girls and everything. But he thinks that 'Something's Missing.'  He's right.

Jesus tells us that we will be unsatisfied, John 4:13-14: Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”

That may sound really confusing, but when I think about it, thirst is a longing, a desire. So, all it means is that things of this world will never 'satiate' our thirsts, our desires, we'll always feel that little bit empty. That is until Jesus gives us his water. Our desires will be met. Obviously I still desire things. But one day, every single one of my desires will be filled.

I'm looking forward to heaven. I'm PUMPED. Pumped for that day when I'll be satisfied. Completely satisfied. So satisfied I will never weep, or mourn. God will wipe every tear from my eye. (Revelations 21:4)
