First Bite

Why can’t that first bite be enough?  

The chips come to the table and the first one tastes better than expected. The queso is the perfect temperature.Time is standing still. The mariachis are singing in your head. If the first bite was so good the second might be even better.

Dopamine ramps to the moon. But on the third bite your neurons are like “been there, done that.” The law of diminishing returns comes to spoil the fun.

Why?

Because we were built to savor and pursue lasting joy. The truth is, these spikes of euphoria are an echo of what is to come. While on earth, heaven is only available in small doses. God isn’t cruel… he is just nudging you to pursue Him because the queso will never be enough.
