Ecclesiastes 1:8
“All things are wearisome, more than one can say. The eye never has enough of seeing, nor the ear its fill of hearing.”
‭‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭1:8‬ ‭NIV

“We can never fill our needs, we always want more. “

“Fleshy desires will make decisions for you and the wrong desires lead to death”

“No one has had enough in life, always wanting more”

“Infinite desire + finite reality = restlessness”

How do we live in this condition, in this state?

Galatians 5:16-17
“I say be guided by the Spirit and you won’t carry out your selfish desires. A person’s selfish desires are set against the Spirit, and the Spirit is set against one’s selfish desires. They are opposed to each other, so you shouldn’t do whatever you want to do.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5:16-17‬ ‭CEB‬‬

Do you feel restlessness in your life?

What do you desire?

““Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace.

“Learn the unforced rhythms of grace”👇👇👇

I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.””
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭11:28-30‬ ‭MSG‬‬
