"The man who has God for his treasure has all things in One. Many ordinary treasures may be denied him, or if he is allowed to have them, the enjoyment of them will be so tempered that they will never be necessary to his happiness. Or if he must see them go, one after one, he will scarcely feel a sense of loss, for having the Source of all things he has in One all satisfaction, all pleasure, all delight. Whatever he may lose he has actually lost nothing, for he now has it all in One, and he has it purely, legitimately and forever." (A.W. Tozer in The Pursuit of God)
This explains why the things of the world do not satisfy us. They cannot because when you have Christ you have it all! Pursuing the things of the world rather than pursuing Christ brings dissatisfaction, complacency, and aimlessness.

unfortunately we are all human and thus always searching for something better. God is at the head of my life, but I still like all the play toys He has allowed us to conjure up.
thanks,
