Overwhelming Desire

recently i have been thinking about desires. it is funny because you always hear people talk about the 'desires of the flesh' or the 'worldly desires', what the crap are these desires that we fall victim to? one of my friends told me that he thinks that through his the evolution of his desires he sees that god has always been his true desire. it is interesting to think that we desire all this stuff and the reason we desire it is because we desire god. who would have thought? i have been seeing in my own life that i have been chasing after these empty desires with the hope of satisfaction, but with fulfilling these desires i seem to be left more and more empty, wanting more. and it is a vicious cycle we chase after these empty desires to be left with a greater desire. through this wild goose chase we fall victim to things of this world......depression, loneliness, self-hatred, etc. why are we so easily fooled? to think that we will be satisfied by these things? why do we continue in this cycle? it is almost like we hope the next time it would end with a different result, but we soon find out that the end result is the same. what we need to realize is that we truly desire god. our heart cries out for him. all the things we are unsatisfied by just show us how much we need him. if we truly want to be satisfied and happy and content we have to see our desire is god, it always has been. get rid of the lies that make you think that the things of this world can give you what you want, they will soon perish and the only thing that there will be is god!
