<h2>

Sanctified Souls Are Satisfied

<div class="block">

<i>
|
|
My people shall be satisfied with my goodness, saith the LORD.

<p>
|
|
Note the "my" which comes twice: "My people shall be satisfied with my goodness."
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
These people are satisfied. This is a grand thing. Very few of the sons of men are ever satisfied, let their lot be what it may; they have swallowed the horse-leech, and it continually cries, "Give! Give!" Only sanctified souls are satisfied souls. God Himself must both convert us and content us.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
It is no wonder that the Lord's people should be satisfied with the goodness of their Lord. Here is goodness without mixture, bounty without stint, mercy without chiding, love without change, favor without reserve. If God's goodness does not satisfy us, what will? What! Are we still groaning? Surely there is a wrong desire within if it be one which God's goodness does not satisfy.

|
|
<p>
|
|
Lord, I am satisfied. Blessed be thy name.
