Sanctified Souls Are Satisfied My people shall be satisfied with My goodness, saith the LORD. (Jeremiah 31:14) Note the My which comes twice: My people shall be satisfied with My goodness. The kind of people who are satisfied with God are marked out as Gods own. He is pleased with them, for they are pleased with Him. They call Him their God, and He calls them His people; He is satisfied to take them for a portion, and they are satisfied with Him for their portion. There is a mutual communion of delight between Gods Israel and Israels God. 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. It is no wonder that the LORDs 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 Gods goodness does not satisfy us, what will? What! are we still groaning? Surely there is a wrong desire within if it be one which Gods goodness does not satisfy. LORD, I am satisfied. Blessed be Thy name. ~ C.H. Spurgeon
