Ecclesiastes 3

In the last part of verse 14 the writer notes that God has put in each person a reverence of him. That means that all people have an innate awareness of God. Such an idea is supported by the spiritual aspect of life that nearly every person perceives. But this awareness is no more than a thirst or hunger. Yet these longings cannot be satisfied in this life. That is why God's mystery is so attractive; somewhere in the mystery is the hope of the eternal reunion with our creator. Only that will fulfill our longing.
