A nursing child cannot sit in his mother's lap without wanting to be fed. The smell of mom is often enough to inspire the desire to eat. But a weaned child has been fed by milk long enough and has transitioned to eating regular table food along with the rest of the family. The weaned child can sit in his mother's lap at rest without constantly craning his neck looking for something more. He is contented by the company of his mother. So is the soul that has learned to desire God's presence over God's presents. The soul that has been nourished by God's good gifts should grow up to appreciate the power and nourishment that is in Him.
