One Thing.

One Thing by: Jonny Diaz
I bought my ticket and I paid in cash
I thought that this time the ride would last
And lead me to what I am looking for

I see the world as it rushes by
But nothing new is grabbing my eye
Just everything that I have tried before

Maybe I've been looking in the wrong place
Maybe I've been thinking that the world will
Fill me up full enough but it never works that way

There is just one thing that fills me up
One thing that's true
There is just one thing that satisfies
That one thing is You

Show me everything I did not see
While I was searching the world for what was right in front of me
So much wasted wasting time

I see that I've been headed down the wrong track
Now I don't wanna ever go back
To the way it was all because
You're all I'll ever need

I'm tired of settling for this world and its bitter dreams
There's nothing here that satisfies like You 
- One Thing, Jonny Diaz


I was listening to that song today and even though "There is just one thing that satisfies, that one thing is You" may seem like an obvious statement, I don't think I can be reminded of it enough. I got into a bad mood today and sat on the computer watching YouTube videos and doing some online window shopping; but the whole time I just felt a tugging at my heart to pray my daily rosary. I kept ignoring it thinking "I'll pray it later." but then it hit me. I was struck with the foolishness of trying to find comfort from mind numbing videos "Do I really think this will make me feel any better?" I want more. I need more. Nothing in this world can possibly satisfy me or relieve my pain except God. Sure, God may send  people or situations to cheer me up but my turning to material goods like food or clothes for comfort is pretty ridiculous. How can I satisfy the yearnings of my immortal soul with something as temporary and unsubstantial as a piece of clothing or a bowl of ice cream? "The Lord's my Shepard, I shall not want." He is my only comfort and the only thing that will ever satisfy.
