PARADOX

There's a built-in reason you aren't fully satisfied with your new iPad.  There's a built-in reason you aren't fully satisfied with your new car or job promotion.

Because you were made for more.

Those things are never going to satisfy because they were never intended to.

Here's the paradox:


'The more you hope for heaven, the more content you'll be on earth.'


And here's an even stranger truth -- the God of heaven is jealous.  But not in any way close to the way we get jealous.  He isn't all that patient waiting for us to get to heaven.  He wants us now.  And He isn't about to settle for part of you.  And when He really gets ahold of you - when He gets all of you - He becomes all to you.  And when that happens, you don't want anything but all of Him.

So let your co-workers excel - let your friends prosper - let your neighbor get the sexy car -- what does it matter?

Because you have all of God and God has all of you.

And be blessed.
