There are days when I can never eat enough! My hunger is so strong, especially for the kinds of food that are generally not a part of my diet. Chocolate, cookies, ice cream...mmm...ice cream. I will wander around the kitchen in search of what I am craving, sometimes I will even go to the store in hopes that I might find something there to satisfy the desire.
Most of the time I end up standing in front of the fridge, holding onto the door, a list of the contents of my fridge, freezer & cupboards scrolling through my mind, wondering if they contain what I'm desiring. When the list has been throughly scoured, I realize, I'm not really hungry, but am craving something, something no food can satisfy - a hunger to spend time with my God, a longing to spend time in the presence of my Maker!
"As a deer gets thirsty for streams of water, I truly am thirsty for You, my God. In my heart, I am thirsty for You, the Living God." - Psalm 42:1-2a CEV
