Before you come to Christ you must recognize that something is missing in your life, something you ache for, but don't know what it is. You just know that your life will be incomplete until you get it. As C. S. Lewis wrote in various books, "We are born helpless. As soon as we are fully conscious we discover loneliness.” ("Transposition and Other Addresses")
"If you are really a product of a materialistic universe, how is it that you don't feel at home there?" ("Encounter with Light")
"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." ("Mere Christianity")
"All that we call human history--money, poverty, ambition, war, prostitution, classes, empires, slavery--[is] the long terrible story of man trying to find something other than God which will make him happy." (ibid)
We have been given a new nature, a holy nature, and it is impossible for one who has the new nature to be satisfied with the things of the world. We live here as strangers in a strange land far from our Father's house. We thirst for home, to be with our Lord and the blessings of life eternal, the holy refreshment that only our holy natures can be satisfied with; Ps. 42:1: "As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.”
