HUNGER and THIRST for GOD. (PSALM 63;1-11).
DAVID'S LOVE FOR THE LORD INSPIRES US:
WE, all of us want that same kind of relationship ourselves.
But where does such passion for GOD come from?
It's not manufactured or created by effort or willpower, nor can we work ourselves into a genuine emotional state of yearning. Love for GOD comes only from HIM, as a gift to those who belong to Christ (1 JOHN 4:19).
This means the only ones who can truly hunger and thirst for GOD are believers. The rest of the people yearn for other things---like wealth, security, control, or prominence---which they mistakenly think will satisfy their soul. Many go through life trying to create whatever kind of personal connections they can, in hopes of fulfilling desires they don't even understand. All too often, the result is empty relationships, excessive work, and immoral behavior.
Daved knew GOD was the only solution to the constant yearning in his heart. As St. Augustine said, "Our hearts are restless, until they can find rest in [HIM]".
Are you feeling empty from trying to satisfy your soul with something other than the LORD?
Come to HIM with all your heart and discover the fullness HE offers.
If you really, really have a heart's desire to want Jesus into your life, submit to Jesus and tell HIM how you feel, ask for forgiveness for not believing, and invite HIM IN to live with you forever. He will come and will help you even when you don't feel HIM. you can truly trust, (THE FATHER GOD JEHOVH, JUSES, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT).
