“The eye is never satisfied with seeing, nor the ear with hearing.” Ecclesiastes 1:8
…
Nothing on earth can satisfy the soul!
It leaves its pleasures with a craving for more.
Because It sighs to increase its satisfactions.
It grieves to think how limited are all its joys.
There is a longing in the soul; a restless appetite to see and hear, to grasp, to understand; a stretching forth of thought; a yearning principle–which spurns the restrictions of the senses. And yet (such is the tribute due to sinful human nature) sense, in its feebleness, keeps down the soul. The soul, with all its energy, cannot overpower sense!
How sad, how humbling the condition of fallen man!
Gifted by grace with higher faculties, you have that with which to fill your soul to the full.
By faith you see, hear, and taste better things–you see Jesus on the throne of God. Because By faith you see the “sea of glass,” and hear “the voice of harpers harping with their harps.” You see Heavenly and eternal realities by faith!
My soul, why linger after the things of time–when better sights, and better sounds invite you? Or why lament your straitened means, with heavenly powers so unlimited? 
Then let your eye repose on Jesus!
The more you look at Him–the longer will you look.
Because The more you look–the more will be your power to gaze upon Him.
The more you commune with Him–the sweeter shall you find His company.
Speak much to Jesus–you shall not speak in vain. The name of Jesus shall be to you “as beds of spices, and sweet flowers.” (Canticles 5:13.) The whispers of the Spirit, telling of grace and peace, shall ever and always refresh your ear!
My soul, these pleasures shall never fail you!
Your Savior, Friend, and Comforter, is ever with you–now and to all eternity the same!
