Our hearts' desire

"The fruit that your soul has longed for has gone from you, and all the things which are rich and splendid have gone from you, and you shall find them no more at all." -Revelation 18:14

Our treasures, apart form God, are trash. The things that people rely upon to satiate their desires for fulfillment, apart from Christ, are fleeting. How often have we experienced this? Nevertheless, we still believe that the next object of our desire will bring lasting fulfillment. That contrived joy, peace, exhilaration or any other emotion we have attached to our momentary fulfillment will fade one day - forever. Our only prospect of partaking in eternal satisfaction is bound up in the everlasting riches of our King. He alone satisfies our deepest needs, and gives liberally to His children. He alone provides the desire of our hearts, because we are the desire of His heart!
