SATISFACTION GUARANTEED
Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Thessalonians 5:23 (NKJV)
Did you know that you're a three-part person? I say this because the Bible tells us that each person has a spirit, soul, and body. Each part has its own set of appetites. Our bodies have physical appetites, which include hunger and thirst. Our souls have emotional appetites, such as acceptance and appreciation. And our spirits? They too possess an appetite that cries out for fulfillment.
Most people are adept at taking care of their physical and emotional appetites. Restaurants cater to any craving, and many television programs and books are designed to help us find good emotional health. Yet, despite all this, our society still screams out for a sense of satisfaction. What's wrong?
The problem lies in the fact that we often ignore our spiritual appetite. Our hearts are hungry for something that all the food and self-help in this world can never affect. We long for something that only heaven can give to us. Jesus identified Himself as the source of this spiritual satisfaction:
"Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give you . . . ." (John 6:27 NKJV)
A life apart from Christ will always be empty and unfulfilled. Only when Jesus is brought into the picture is the spiritual appetite truly satisfied. If your spirit has been satisfied by Jesus, rejoice and give Him thanks. But if it hasn't, do the sensible thing by placing your faith in Him and asking Him into your heart. When you do, He guarantees to fulfill you as only He can.
And Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst." (John 6:35 NKJV)
