We can assess our desires; if Christ truly fills our hearts, we will view worldly things as worthless.
To determine if Christ is our desired portion, we must introspectively evaluate our hearts and desires. If our deepest longing is for Christ's presence and the joy of His love, we will regard material possessions as secondary and unworthy of our pursuit. This is supported by the idea that a genuine profession of faith is not just intellectual acknowledgment of biblical truths, but rather an experiential appreciation of Christ's love that outweighs all lesser desires. In doing so, we find that our earthly ambitions and treasures pale in comparison to the joys found in God’s favor, as noted in Psalm 73:25, where the psalmist acknowledges that only God can truly satisfy our hearts.
