The Restless Human Heart

Jesus

I would like to speak about another matter. The human heart is restless and never satisfied. It searches and finds, but realizes that it cannot hold on because time constantly moves on. The moment of possession is over. The human heart moves on to its next goal. So, there is a constant searching, finding, possessing and then, what is possessed does not fill the heart. Life moves quickly from one stage to the next and man is never settled because God has made the human heart too big. Pile all that earth can give into your heart and it is like a drop of water sitting in a desert.

You are made for the infinite and for the timeless and you will never find either of these on earth. Everything on earth is limited, and even the limited good fades away. It’s either no longer attractive or no longer available and then death sweeps everything away. O, foolish man, you try to fill your infinite, immortal heart with what is limited and passing. This is the cause of your endless restlessness.
