Our deepest desires

I recently found a quote from CS Lewis that made me think a lot : "We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased." (CS Lewis "The weight of Glory and Other Addresses")

But we are not pleased, even though we think we are. We were created to be fully satisfied in Christ alone, but we try to fill the void in our soul with other things. I love verses that talk about what our deepest desire should be, because I know the Word of God is true and that it "judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart" (Heb 4:12).

Ps 73:25: "Whom have I in heaven but you?
And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you."

Ps 143:6: "I stretch out my hands to you;
my soul thirsts for you like a parched land."

Isa 26:9a: "My soul yearns for you in the night;
my spirit within me earnestly seeks you."

Ps 42:2: "My soul thirsts for God,
for the living God.
When shall I come and appear before God?"

Ps 63:1: "O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you;
my soul thirsts for you;
my flesh faints for you,
as in a dry and weary land where there is no water."

Ps 16:11 : "You make known to me the path of life;
in your presence there is fullness of joy;
at your right hand are pleasures forevermore."
