C.S. Lewis quote

On my Google home page, I have the "C.S. Lewis quote of the day." I loved yesterday's and thought I would share it here...

"All that we call human history-money, poverty, ambition, war, prostitution, classes, empires, slavery--[is] the long terrible story of man trying to find something other than God which will make him happy."
--Mere Christianity

Isn't that the truth? We humans are constantly pushing and pulling in every direction, searching and searching for things to make us happy, to fulfill us, when all we need, when all we have ever needed is God. Only He can fill that hole in us, that makes us constantly search for that "perfect thing" which will fill us, all of that is empty, in vain, it never works. God created us, only He can cause us to feel content, and only then will we have joy.
