4. Why Do I Feel Like Something Is Missing?

Have you ever gotten something you really wanted and then discovered it didn't satisfy you as long as you thought it would?

Maybe you thought:

“If I make enough money, I'll finally be happy.”

“If I find the right person, I'll finally feel complete.”

“If I get that house…”

“That promotion…”

“That relationship…”

“That recognition…”

And sometimes we get exactly what we wanted.

For a while, it feels great.

Then strangely, we start wanting something else.

It's like drinking salt water when you're thirsty. You keep drinking, but the thirst never really disappears.

Ecclesiastes says God has placed eternity in our hearts.

There is something within us that temporary things cannot completely satisfy.
