In every human being there is a need to be satisfied. We seek to fulfill our instinct for pleasure in all the wrong places; another person, a place, or a material thing. I wonder how many of us have actually found lasting pleasure in any of those things; my guess would be not many.
With each sunset our little world is slowly passing away. All the things that we spent so much time on to bring us fulfillment and pleasure in our lives have all but vanished. We find ourselves not so much spending time seeking pleasure; instead we find ourselves searching for answers.
As we make our way through this Lenten journey, let us keep in mind from where our real treasure of pleasure lies. We need only to seek and we will find, or to knock and the door of truth shall be opened to us; most of all we need to love, and He who is the fullness of love and compassion, will fill us with a joy, far greater than any temporary pleasure that we have experienced in our quest to be fulfilled in this world.
