Temporary Fixes

I just had this random thought pop into my head tonight. I was kind of thinking about my life and all that I have and all that I have been blessed with. So with that it brought me to the thought of temporary fixes...

I was thinking how I would love to go shopping for some new clothes for this fall, then I thought to myself, I have a closet full of clothes and at one time each of those pieces in my closet were at one time the latest and greatest thing to me. Then over time the clothes didn't have the same effect as they did when I first bought them.

I can think of my phone and computer...Both when I got them, I thought how awesome they were and I couldn't imagine getting sick of either. Months later new models came out and I find myself wanting the better, cooler ones.

I think of food... how I get excited about certain foods I crave. We all know how that goes, we eat it, then it only fills us up for a moment, then we look for the next food or fix of something else.

I can think of my house...how at one time I loved everything in my house then over time the furniture and decor isn't is cool as the styles in the lastest magazines that are out.

Then I was thinking about the world and others and how there are so many things that we desire to have and do, but they don't fill up our lives only but for a moment. They're temporary fixes. We always want more or something different. In the moment its amazing and feels so good, it's such a rush, but then after a while it fads aways...

It makes me sad that I desire so much of the world, the things that are temporary in this world, the things that in the end won't matter at all.

Hebrews 13:8
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

That means He never, ever changes. His love, His, grace, His mercy is forever. He never gives up on us. He died for our sins.

The question I ask myself is, why is God not enough for me.?
I want to desire more of God and less of my self.
