The One Who Brings Satisfaction
He Who Brings Satisfaction
My friend thought after getting married,
his sexual cravings were solved.
his wife had no idea how deeply he was involved.
On their wedding day, she was a beauty to be seen.
She was the twinkle in his eye...
his partner—his everything.
The lust he craved, she alone could not satisfy.
As other women began to catch his wandering eye.
As the weeks went on, he'd make excuses in his mind...
“I'll make up with my wife...”
“Some other time...”
Adultery was something he swore he'd never do...
He promised “to always be faithful, committed and true.”
One day he allowed “his guard to fall down.”
Then his whole life “came crashing all around.”
The guilt he bore was difficult to explain.
He'd feel guilty at the very mention of his wife's name.
One day she found him in a compromising situation.
He tried to give her some kind of an explanation.
She said she'd stay with him ... if he'd
give up his lustful deeds.
“Repent to Jesus,” she said,
“He'll meet all of your needs.”
To Jesus. And her... He confessed and asked for forgiveness.
In Jesus, he found true joy,
love and happiness.
As he looks back and think about how he lived.
He's so thankful to Jesus—
willing to forgive.
He alone has brought true satisfaction to his soul.
And is with him now—wherever he may go!
