Among the many revolutionary things that the Bible taught me, a big one is about satisfaction.
Contrary to EVERYTHING we learn since birth, satisfaction (i.e. feeling completely satisfied with your life, not chasing anything more,
feeling at peace, loving — which is what everybody's after) does not come from anything you can see around you.
It does not come from anything you can get, feel, or experience in this “physical” world.
Sounds woo-woo, I know, when you've been raised talking only about what you can see.
It comes from something that is not there, not visible, but super real: the God of the Bible.
I know, it sounds crazy.
How can a book fill you up to the point of this finished, complete, "no-need-for-more" satisfaction?!
Well, it's just the truth. That's what's happening.
And it rocked my world.
This is the biggest shift:
You're not designed to take from the world because the world simply is not edible.
You can try and try and try, but it's like food that couldn't be swallowed.
You can take bites, chew them, perceive flavors, but your stomach remains empty.
No. This world is designed for us to bring into it what God fills us up with.
It is the beautiful decor in which you overflow.
And overflowing means being full in the first place. So you don't need anything from the world in which you overflow.
As it was intended to be.
(Think about this: how could anyone be born incomplete? It makes no sense. If you were, you wouldn't be alive.)
But of course, it's impossible to live this paradigm shift if you've never experienced God's presence.
I'm talking about experience here, it's not intellectual. It's not something that you can reach with your thoughts.
If you've never tasted an orange, you can't make up its flavor in your mind nor the effect that its nutrients have on you.
In the same way that you can't ask a blind man how much he likes colors: it's unthinkable, unimaginable as long
as you haven't experienced it.
And it's exactly what I'm talking about in this article.
We go through life not even knowing that there's another way because we've never experienced it.
So we keep trying and trying “different” ways..
That are in fact all one and the same: trying to fill yourself up with the outside, that is simply not edible.
So stop looking around, start looking up.
