Day Twenty Four - Hungry

Every yearning we experience as human beings is a yearning for something more complete.

We have a lot of different hungers:  spiritual, emotional, intellectual.

How aware am I of what’s going on around me?  Do I know what I’m hungry for?

Jesus came to feed the hungry and heal the sick.  We are all hungry.  We are all sick.  Do I know what my hunger is?  Do I know what my sickness is?

Every yearning is in some mysterious way a yearning for God.  While I am searching for him far and wide in this world, he is waiting for me in the very depths of my soul.

What am I hungry for?  I hunger to be loved just because I exist.  That is how God loves.

Focus:

We are all hungry for something.

Act:

Write down everything I am hungry for at this time in my life.

Pray:

God, I need you.  Give me the patience and awareness to let my hunger for things of this world lead me to the deeper need and yearning that I have for you.
