Just celebrated another orbit around the Sun this week and got a nice, long email from a former student in whose life Sherry and I have taken particular interest. He had a moment on a bus when he was really living and I wanted to share it with you. He was on a crowded city bus and just became filled with worship. Here it is….

“Pastor, I also realize that heaven is not just a place of happiness but a place of satisfaction… A deep satisfaction which does not thirst for anything. The major problem of the world is that they are thirsty for something: food, water, sex, money, power. But heaven is a place where all the thirst would be gone and it would be a place of peacefulness which comes with satisfaction and contentment.

While I was in the bus this was what happening to me… A glimpse of satisfaction that I am doing God’s will in my life… God has given us this glimpse of satisfaction when we find our true love, when we eat the food that we really wanted, in the climax of the union between man and his wife, and so on… This satisfaction is priceless and it is from God. That was what I felt pastor when I was in the bus.”

Someone said to me this week, “God is most glorified when we are most satisfied in Him alone.”
