Actually, only God can satisfy a Christian's heart; man cannot. The failure of many is to seek from man what can be found only in God.

In giving us children, God places us in a position of both leadership and service. He calls us to give up our lives for someone else's sake - to abandon our own desires and put our child's interests first. Yet, according to His perfect design, it is through this selflessness that we can become truly fulfilled.
