The person who has God for their treasure has all things in one.
When God satisfies a soul, that soul does not stop seeking the source of satisfaction. Once an empty, longing soul tastes true pleasure, it can never go back to the empty cisterns and stay there. In a way, we are both restless and satisfied. They hunger and thirst no more, as Jesus promised in John 6:35, “Jesus said to them, I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to Me will not be hungry, and whoever believes in Me will never be thirsty.”
In the Bible, those satisfied with God spend a lifetime seeking satisfaction in God. Those filled with God search for the fullness of God and those who have found God or should I say God found them never stop searching for Him. An unrelenting pursuit of God is what defines believers. That is why they keep reading the Bible over and over again -to find more God.
It’s a longing is not to re-experience the joy we had when we first found Him, but it experience new joy through greater knowledge of Him. It’s like ascending a mountain for its beauty.
As a society we have lost God in the wonders of this world. We have almost forgotten who he is. It’s not enough that we found God, we must keep finding Him.
Augustine a theologian said, “Christ is not valued at all unless he is valued above all.” If Jesus is not our greatest pursuit in life, then we do not value Him. If our souls are not hungry for Him, then we have not tasted the bread of life.
Make God your greatest treasure, and you will be empowered to let go of anything to gain a relationship with Jesus.
