How Can A Created Thing Satisfy My Heart? Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore
How Can A Created Thing Satisfy My Heart?
God is the creator of my heart.
I tried to fill it with the love of a girl.
I tried to fill it with riches and money.
I tried to fill it with the lust
that the world provided for me.
It was easy to fall into temptations,
thinking that will satisfy my soul.
But now I know my heart
will not give me peace
until I let my heart
be satisfied only by God.
Now I come to the simple logic:
How can a created thing satisfy my heart?
God is the creator and owner of my heart.
God alone can satisfy the cravings of my heart.
It is so simple.
My heart finds peace
in this thought now.
This parallels my experience, Tony. This reminds me of a quote from St. Augustine, My heart was restless till it found its rest in Thee. I tried to capture my discovery of what you describe here in my poem “At the Threshold” if you’d want to look it up here in PH. -Glen
