I usually eat a pretty healthy diet, but last night I got a craving for pizza. There’s a pizza place near here that makes a delicious vegan pizza, loaded with veges and non-dairy cheese. Just thinking about it makes my mouth water. It was so good!
That craving we all feel sometimes, whether it’s for pizza, ice cream, or some other delicious treat, is what God wants us to feel when we think of Him. That’s what Jesus meant when He said, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.” (Matthew 5:6 NIV).
God wants us to crave being in His presence, to thirst for a relationship with Him, to long to be like Him. Why? So He can fill us up, bless us beyond anything we can imagine, satisfy our hunger with the Bread of Life.
All the things this world has to offer will never relieve the hunger we feel in our souls. Only God’s presence, His righteousness, can do that. So, don’t wait a moment longer. Come to Jesus. Invite Him into your life today. Let Him fill you with His righteousness and hunger and thirst no more!
