If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world. -C. S. Lewis
C. S. Lewis suggests that when individuals encounter deep desires that remain unfulfilled by worldly experiences, it indicates a longing for something beyond this life. This notion points to the idea that humans possess an intrinsic yearning for a spiritual or eternal existence that transcends earthly satisfaction.
Randy Alcorn, in his book "Seeing the Unseen," reflects on this perspective, emphasizing the significance of recognizing these unmet desires as an indication of our true home. By acknowledging that we are made for another world, Alcorn encourages readers to develop an eternal outlook, suggesting that understanding this desire can enrich our current experiences and provide hope.
