Proverbs 12:24-28 ~ Instruction Concerning Discipline with Regards to Conduct

Excerpt:

Once the life of Christ comes into a person’s heart, that person now has the fullness of life.  And as we grow in Christ, we come to realize I do not need anything outside of what I have in Christ.  That is the message of the scriptures.  Be content with what you have.  Stop looking for happiness and satisfaction outside of you.  You have the fullness of the Spirit of God living inside of you.  That is what you are trying to satisfy, and He is already in you.

That is why Jesus told the Samaritan woman at the well, "If you drink of the water of this well, you will thirst again; but if you drink of the water I give, you will never thirst again."  It will be a constant fountain of spiritual water that is overflowing and giving satisfaction to a person’s life.  How much I realize this shows by my decision making.  If I am still constantly looking for activities and people in life for my happiness, I have not realized this.  Either I do not have the Spirit of Christ because there is no satisfaction, or I do have Christ but I am still looking to be happy with the things of life and it will be a waste of time.
