completely satisfied

I just read the following (excerpted from an article) that totally made sense to me:

Matthew 5:8 (NKJV)

Blessed are the pure in heart, For they shall see God.


The pure in heart: hearts refined as gold; hearts that have been through the fire; hearts that have been prepared by God. Verse six, "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness." Many of our bibles say "for they will be filled." Amplified says "for they shall be completely satisfied."

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness (purity, cleanness) they will live a life of complete satisfaction. Complete satisfaction. Completely satisfied on the inside.

It’s not about a title or a ministry... Nothing that will build the pride of man up. It’s about those who hunger and thirst for righteousness - they are the ones who will live with one hundred percent complete satisfaction in their lives. They will be satisfied. They will have a life joy in their lives. A life joy.

Do you know what a life joy is? A life joy is not a temporary moment of happiness because of a good circumstance in your life. A life joy is because your life has been completely filled with the righteousness of God. A deep satisfaction on the inside of you that man can’t take away, that circumstances can’t take away, and certainly the devil can’t take away.

A deep righteousness on the inside. A deep life joy. A deep satisfaction. How many want to live a life of satisfaction? That you just have that sense of being satisfied. You’re not striving. You’re not unhappy in your moment. You’ve got to learn to enjoy your moment while you’re on the way to where you’re going.

You can still have vision for the future and at the same time be completely satisfied on the inside of you.

You can still have unfulfilled vision in your life and yet at the same moment live completely satisfied on the inside of you.
