satisfaction.

satan uses the same tricks over and over. feelings of inadequacy, feelings of unacceptance, feelings of hate and unlove. but we continue to fall for them. wishing we were somewhere or with someone other than who we're with. like it would really be so much better. like they would love us more. we are of this world. we will never be satisfied when we are in this world and of this world. when we strive to be comfortable and accepted in this world, no matter what, we will never be satisfied. even if we're popular and always have someone we can call to hang out or eat with. even if we have a successful career and plenty of money and stuff. we put our happiness in the world, not in the one that can really, truely make us satisfied. He doesnt promise that we'll always be happy. He doesnt promise that we won't face troubles and obstacles. but He does promise that He'll be by our side. all the time. no matter what. even if the things and people in this world fail us. He never will. never. ever.
this all reminds me of the song by your side by tenth avenue north:
why are you striving these days?
why are you trying to earn grace?
why are you crying?
let me lift up your face
just don't turn away
why are you looking for love?
why are you still searching as if i'm not enough?
to where will you go child?
tell me where will you run
to where will you run?
cause i'll be by your side
wherever you fall
in the dead of night
whenever you call
and please don't fight
these hands that are holding you
my hands are holding you
look at these hands and my side
they swallowed the grave on that night
when i drank the world's sin
so i could carry you in
and give you life
i want to give you life
i wanna give you life
and i'll be by your side
wherever you fall
in the dead of night
whenever you call
and please don't fight
these hands that are holding you
my hands are holding you
here in my side
wherever you fall
in the dead of night
whenever you call
and please don't fight
these hands that are holding you
my hands are holding you
cause i, i love you
i want you to know
that i, i love you
i'll never let you go
and i'll be by your side
wherever you fall
in the dead of night
whenever you call
and please don't fight
these hands that are holding you
my hands are holding you
here in my side
wherever you fall
in the dead of night
whenever you call
and please don't fight
these hands that are holding you
my hands are holding you
