Satiated?

Several years ago, while I was observing the world around me, I decided to write my observations down in a poetic style. Though time has passed since then, and though the world has changed, there are some things that stay the same. One thing that remains is the search for something that will satisfy your life - and that is something each and every individual seeks. And with that, there is one Answer that will truly satiate (fully satisfy) that desire for one and all!

The poem:

Satiated?

Upon this earth, I have noticed,
But one common thing among man.
People are always taking.
Taking.
Always trying to get more for themselves.
Enough to satiate their desires.
But when it comes to the one thing
That will truly satisfy their very being
They reject it.
They won’t accept it.
It is cast aside like a worn-out rag.
But it is the only thing
That can satisfy to overflowing
Their wants, desires, and all else they could ever ask for.
It cannot be found in ads or magazines -
It is a gift!
Free.
And yet they refuse
This gift from the one true Giver -
The Giver of all, even life itself.
A gift of love.
Given far beyond what anyone ever has.
A gift so great it could never be matched.
He gave His only Son.
A Son that was born on earth,
Lived a perfect life,
Then gave His life for me.
He paid the penalty for my sin
Through His death.
And gave me life everlasting
Through His resurrection.
This gift is for all.
Yet so many will not receive it.
They reject it -
Even despise it.
But this gift of love still remains.
And the Giver awaits with open arms.
For anyone that will accept His priceless gift.

People search for all sorts of things trying to find something to give them an inner happiness. Is your hope in something temporary? If so, all pleasure is sure to fade and soon enough the search will continue. Or are you trusting in the One that can satiate your soul now and throughout eternity - Jesus Christ? Have you accepted this matchless gift? It's yours if you but ask Him.
