Spiritual Longing

Psalm 42:2-3
As the deer longs for streams of water, so my soul longs for you, O God. My being thirsts for God, the living God.

All of us are yearning for God…but I think most people are unaware. What they think is a physical craving is actually a spiritual one. So they try to satisfy this insatiable desire by obtaining wealth, power, prestige or perhaps the perfect relationship. While all these things might bring happiness…it will only be temporary and the inner craving will return. I believe God created us with that inner emptiness that only our Loving Creator can fill…and wants to fill with love. But…God won’t force this love on us. That wouldn’t be love…would it? What are you trying to obtain to satisfy your soul craving? Let go of your attachments so that the Living God can fill you. Spend some quiet time with the One who has loved you for all time.
