Do you ever feel dissatisfied with life? I do. There are days that I find myself craving something…..more. I walk through my days with an unsettled,
dissatisfied feeling. I ponder what
would bring more satisfaction to my life. Could it possibly be: more affirming
words from my husband and friends, better health, more close friendships, more
involvement in church and community, listening to more Christian music, living closer to my children, a better car, more money? There are sooo many possibilities-- some may be valid, and none
are necessarily ‘bad’.
“Oh God, You are my God, earnestly I seek You; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs
for You, in a dry and weary land, where there is no water. Psalm 63:1
for You, in a dry and weary land, where there is no water. Psalm 63:1
And yet, when I have moments of stark clarity, I know beyond doubt what this
craving for more is. I know
that it is a passionate plea from my thirsty soul for more God. A soul desperate for more intimacy with its creator.
A soul that cannot be satisfied
with even the very best this world has to offer.
“You open your hand and satisfy the desires
of
every living thing”.
Psalms 145:16
And so, rejoicing,
I lift my hands and thank Him for once again mercifully reminding me that when
I crave more, He is willing, able,
and wanting to saturate my thirsty soul with more of Himself!
Perhaps your soul, like mine, is thirsty for more… I pray that we will look to our God to
satisfy our souls. His love is
unfailing!
Love and blessings,
Mary
I'd love to hear from you!
