Hungry

Please don't read any of what you see here as arogant or, "ooh, look at me", because that is not the way I write it.

I have fasted more this past month than ever in my entire life, combined, and what's more, I have wanted to. my spirit is so hungry right now. the human "being" hungers for God from the moment of birth to the last breath, however during that time we seek out every sinful desire imaginable. "Blessed are you who hunger now for you will be satisfied. Blessed are you who weep now for you will laugh."luke 6:21. God blesses those who are hungry right now and promises them satisfaction. Those who wait untill He is returning will go hungry for they were unprepared.

I believe that God will not only satiate us but will in the times of our near disastrous hunger prepare for us a feast that even the sight of which will overwhelm us. but that will require of us more than our strength alone can muster. the strength that we have alone is not enough to carry us one day. but God gives us the strength to fix our eyes on him and follow his lead forever.

But it is not easy. Though we may find ourselves in places of spiritual freedom from time to time, the way to God is through meditation, prayer, and fasting. none of that stuff is particularly fun, but all of it is necessary for a closer life with Christ. It is painful, even agonizing at times, but it will be so worth it when we are ultimately satisfied at the end of the age.
