Most people have the feeling that there should be something more to life. We work hard, but aren’t always satisfied with the results. We have, but always seem to want more. We achieve, but are always left looking for a new challenge.
Wasn't I going to make more money? Weren't my kids going to behave better? Isn't life supposed to be ... better? What if this is as good as it gets?
The hunger for more is not unique nor is it a bad thing. We were created to live as complete human beings, but few of us do. We sense the lack within ourselves, but can’t correct it. We can’t always direct the path of our lives. We don’t reach all of our goals. We’re not perfect.
Jesus was.
He lived the perfect life. He was guided by an internal sense of purpose. He was in constant harmony with the Father. He never lied, never failed, never gave up. Whatever the more is in life, he had it. Jesus lived that a complete life—and he believed you and I could live it too. “I have come that they may have life,” he said, “and have it to the full” (John 10:10).
What is the more you are looking for in life? Have you found it?

This post is beautiful and I just wanted to say that in reading it, I recognized that it is actually the "alignment" or as you put it "harmony" with the Father which brings the satisfaction along the journey. So, this would be the more that would truly fulfill, even if the other goals or plans we have do not work out as we think they should. Thank you for the realization here today. Have a beautiful weekend! Your site is lovely! ~Jenn
