I was flipping through a Tucson magazine today from the beginning of the summer. In honor of Father's Day, they had an article on the top dad's in Tucson. The three that were featured consisted of two CEO's and a prominent restaurant owner.
As I browsed through each of the bios, thinking I am way behind if this is what it takes to be a good dad, I read a featured quote from each of the dynamic daddy's. The last one caught me off-guard. He said that being a father was the ultimate experience and the ultimate satisfaction.
That really hit home with me. I've tried to find ultimate satisfaction in a lot of things. To name a few, video games, friends, girlfriends back in high school, fun activities, my marriage, collecting things, taking in all the movies, spin je...., er, I mean, and being a father. And just like all of you, the desire for more or something deeper continued. Whether we're a millionaire CEO or a 7-11 night clerk, we all seek satisfaction of something we can't quite put our finger on.
Jesus said to a woman who was also trying hard to fill that need that he had the answer. In the Bible's book of John chaper 4 verse 13 Jesus told the woman that everyone who tries to quench their need with things in this world will thirst or desire for more. But whoever drinks the water that Jesus has will never thirst.
I, for one, have experienced finding complete satisfaction in Jesus. If you haven't tried it, I highly recommend it.
