The Built-In Need

Even the best of things here shall ultimately pass away. What we are left with is the only thing that could ever truly give us happiness- and that is Him. There is no happiness apart from Him, and it has been designed to work in just this way. Human beings, that most curious of all animals, has inside them a vacuum, something the poets called longing, for something outside the self. Many know the want, but have no idea to fill it. Some try with relationships, others with possessions or achievements, or even by getting praise from men. This never works for very long, however. It has been woven into our very DNA to need Him, to sacrifice, to please that most infinite of Spririts, the great Iam. To finally be told, and believe with every fiber of our being that "All is well with thee". At last to hear, while on our knees and eyes closed, "Well done, thy good and faithful servant."
