SATISFIED

by Rev. Howard Rosen, Jr
(Dillwyn, VA)

Pleasant Grove Baptist

Psalm 17:15
As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake with thy likeness.

The world is looking everywhere for satisfaction.
I at one time was right there with them.
No one is satisfied today. They look for it every where but the right place.
Mick Jagger over 30 years, still not!!
I want you to know As For Me… I Shall Be Satisfied!!
