One of the top lies in today's culture is that God isn't enough. People say "if only" I had this or "if only" I had that, then I'd be happy. For example:
"If only I had God and a boyfriend, I'd be happy (for more on that, see here). "If only I had God and parents that didn't fight, then I'd be happy." We don't realize that God is enough to satisfy us. If the only thing we had in the world was Jesus, we could be happy. Notice how I said we could be happy, not that we would be happy. I said that because if we don't realize how amazing God really is, then we won't be happy. If we stay in that "if only" mindset, then we can't truly be happy. We're believing Satan when he says that we need more than God to satisfy us. But that isn't true. If I had nothing that was valuable to me, no clothes, no house, no anything, but I still had Jesus, I would still be happy. Because Jesus is really all you need. [My God will meet all your needs. He will meet them in keeping with his wonderful riches that come to you because you belong to Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19] This scripture is a promise from God that anything we need will be given to us by God. It doesn't say that our boyfriend will meet all our needs. It doesn't say that our favorite music artist will meet all our needs. It says that God will meet all our needs. If you're looking to things of this world to fulfill your needs, you're looking in the wrong place. You might find temporary satisfaction in a boyfriend or other things of this world, but you won't find lasting satisfaction until you find Jesus Christ. I know this post was kinda short, but I hope that you took what I said to heart and will look to God for true and lasting satisfaction.
