Experiencing Eternal Satisfaction: Praying for the Love of the Father to be in Us

Praying for Eternal Satisfaction

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to experience complete and everlasting satisfaction? To have unbounded energy and passion for the things that bring you joy? This is something that we long for, but often find elusive in this world. There are three obstacles that stand in the way of our ultimate satisfaction.

Firstly, nothing in this created world has a personal worth great enough to meet the deepest longings of our hearts. We may find temporary pleasure and happiness in the things of this world, but they ultimately fall short of providing lasting satisfaction.

Secondly, we lack the strength and ability to fully savor and enjoy the best treasures that this world has to offer. We are limited by our human weaknesses and limitations, preventing us from truly experiencing the maximum worth of the things we enjoy.

Lastly, our joys in this world are fleeting and temporary. Nothing lasts forever. We may have moments of happiness and delight, but they are often short-lived and eventually fade away.

But what if there was a way to overcome these obstacles? What if we could experience eternal satisfaction and delight? This is exactly what Jesus prayed for in John 17:26. He said, “I made known to them your name, and I will continue to make it known, that the love with which you have loved me may be in them, and I in them.”

Jesus prayed that the love with which the Father loved him would be in us. Think about that for a moment. The infinite, well-pleased love that the Father has for the Son, can be in us. God's pleasure in the Son can become our pleasure in the Son. And if that happens, our delight in Jesus will be inexhaustible and never-ending.

Imagine being able to delight in Jesus, the Son of God, with the very enjoyment of his Father. No greater treasure can be conceived than the Son of God himself. He will never become boring, disappointing, or frustrating. He is the ultimate source of satisfaction and joy.

Not only will we have the ability to fully savor and enjoy Jesus, but our human weaknesses and limitations will no longer hold us back. We will have the strength and capacity to experience the maximum worth of Jesus. Our enjoyment of him will be limitless.

And the best part is that this satisfaction will never fade away. It will never come to an end. Our love for the Father and the Son will never die or diminish, because their love for each other will be in us. We will share in their eternal love and delight.

So how do we experience this eternal satisfaction? It starts with knowing and making known the name of God. We need to have a deep and intimate knowledge of who God is and what he has done for us. We need to understand and believe in the love that the Father has for the Son, and allow that love to dwell in us.

As we cultivate a relationship with God and seek to know him more, our love and delight in Jesus will grow. We will experience the infinite well-pleased love of the Father in our own hearts. This is a love that surpasses all understanding and fills us with joy and satisfaction.

In conclusion, Jesus prayed for our eternal satisfaction. He prayed that the love with which the Father loved him would be in us. If we allow this love to dwell in us, we will experience a satisfaction and delight that is beyond anything this world can offer. We will find our ultimate treasure and joy in Jesus, the Son of God. So let us seek to know God more deeply and make his name known, that we may experience the fullness of his love and find eternal satisfaction in him.
