The Lord sure does satisfy, and yet I hunger for more. The Cross makes me thankful, yet I weep because of  the evilness that put Him there. It is ok and possible to feel two different things at the same time over something.

Half empty Half full

Lord You feed me every day yet still,

My heart because of love for You will never get it's fill.

And I pray my heart never will.

This hunger makes me reach for you all day each day.

This hunger grows from love and I hope it never goes away!

There is nothing I would rather do,

Than feast with You.

You are my Manna, You are my water, You are my bread.

By You I am well fed.

Feed my mind, spirit, soul and heart.

Write Your words in my inner most part.

Starving 

Sometimes as I try to lose weight I feel like I am starving! Fat chance of that! (I hope this made someone giggle) Starving comes from not having. Not having food, attention, or what ever it is I'm starving for. The result of real starving is poor health physically and mentally, and sometimes death. I am glad I am always starving for God, Jesus, and The Holy Spirit! I hope I never do get my fill, because it keeps me reaching for Him. But I don't want to starve Him either. Like any good father He wants me to spend time with Him. Like any child I need to and want to spend time with Him. But life gives me so much to do where will I find time? I read once of a woman who had so many children, that she put her apron over her face and prayed because she had no where private to go. I have spent time with God in the bath tub, the shower, when I have been on walks, in the car, on the bus, and lots of other places. I knew someone who spent time with God in the bath room while doing there daily duties. The only way spiritual starvation will happen in my life is if  I refuse to eat. I wont starve God because I will speak to Him, about Him, pray, praise, and study His word every chance I get; and as anyone can see there are plenty of chances. I think I will ask Him and the Holy Spirit to make me aware of every opportunity to be with Him, I hope I don't miss any. Who knows maybe I need to sacrifice something I am doing, or watching so I can spend more time with Him.

Starving/ withering how not to: Psalms 1:2-3, how not to go hungry: Psalm 107:8-9, John 4:34, When can I find time? Deuteronomy 11:19, Psalms 63:6, Where can I spend time with God? Psalms 19:14, 2 Corinthians 4:16
