I have a good life. I have a loving husband, two adorable kids, a lovely home, supportive family and friends and a dream career that’s taking off. From the outside looking in that would seem to be enough. It’s not.

There are times when I feel it’s all not enough. It’s not that I am ungrateful. I thank God every day for all I have but I know I need more. When I was younger I did not know what to make of these feelings. I would think if I had this or that or if things were this way or that way I’d finally feel fulfilled. As I accomplished and attained more and more I realized it was all still not enough.

However, as I’ve grown in my relationship with the Lord over the years I know exactly what those feelings mean. They are a reminder that the best life here on earth does not compare to the soul satisfying love we find in Jesus Christ. The perfect life is not enough. It never will be. That emptiness and dissatisfaction with life is God’s call. It’s His reminder that He is the more we need and He is the only One who can truly fulfill us.
