Dissatisfaction

Sat-is-fy: [sat-is-fahy]
–verb (used with object)
1. to fulfill the desires, expectations, needs, or demands of (a person, the mind, etc.); give full contentment to
2. to put an end to (a desire, want, need, etc.) by sufficient or ample provision

Satisfaction seems to be elusive in this lifetime. As cliches go, it's like trying to grasp water in your hand to quench a thirst. Things, people, events may satisfy... but the feeling dissolves like a mirage before you know it. Satisfaction cannot be standalone; it can only be accomplished by something/one which embody the qualities that the void lacks in order to fill it.

Just thinking aloud.

"You open Your hand and satisfy the desire of every living thing." ~ Psalm 145:16



C.S. Lewis Song
Brooke Fraser

If I find in myself desires nothing in this world can satisfy,
I can only conclude that I was not made for here
If the flesh that I fight is at best only light and momentary,
then of course I'll feel nude when to where I'm destined I'm compared

Speak to me in the light of the dawn
Mercy comes with the morning
I will sigh and with all creation groan as I wait for hope to come for me

Am I lost or just less found? On the straight or on the roundabout of the wrong way?
Is this a soul that stirs in me, is it breaking free, wanting to come alive?
'Cause my comfort would prefer for me to be numb
And avoid the impending birth of who I was born to become

For we, we are not long here
Our time is but a breath, so we better breathe it
And I, I was made to live, I was made to love, I was made to know you
Hope is coming for me
Hope, He's coming
