Thirsty Again
If you look for satisfaction or fulfillment, meaning or identity, anywhere other than Jesus, you’ll be left empty. There may be a moment of refreshment or pleasure, but you’ll soon be thirsty again.

God Is Better
The invitation of the Bible is not to dreary abstinence. It’s a call to find in God that which truly satisfies. It’s believing that we find lasting fulfillment, satisfaction, joy, and identity in knowing God, and nowhere else. Whatever sin offers, God offers more, for God offers us himself. God isn’t just good, he’s better – better than everything else – and the true source of all joy.

Classic Quote
All creatures continually live upon the generosity of God; He maintains the whole creation through His mere goodness. And every good thing that is enjoyed is a part of his generosity.
