There is only one who can truly fill and fulfill our souls and that is Jesus Christ Himself.

2Co 3:18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.
The more we see Jesus the more we are changed into His image.
