Who loves water? I sure do. A few minutes ago I realized how dry my throat was. I drank a HUGE glass of water just now, and yet my throat is STILL dry.
Do you ever have a thirst that you can't satisfy, or possibly a hunger?
Whether it's literally a hunger or a thirst, or if it's just a metaphorical thing, we all have hungers or thirsts that we can't satisfy.
For me, something I can't satisfy is my greed for God to talk to me. Because all of my church friends at camp said, "Ohhh God talked to me! It was so cool!"
And I'm just standing there like, "Oh, yeah. That's so cool." And I'm secretly thinking in my head, Why can't that happen to me? Why am I the odd one out here?
And sure, I've felt God's presence, but He's never talked to me.
That's really the only thing that I have a never ending thirst for in life, besides the literal things like what happened to me just a few minutes ago.
But even if it seems like your hungers of thirsts won't ever be satisfied, maybe they are not supposed to be, maybe they are. It depends on what it is. But I'm not going to get into that.
But... don't get dehydrated, literally. Haha.
You're pretty awesome, Emma. I love you so much.
ReplyDeleteGreat analogy! And now I have this visual in my head that living life without God is like trying to juggle water. It just doesn't work! :)
