Have you been hungry lately? I am talking about a hunger that is so strong that you can think of nothing else. Your body aches and your faculties are sluggish; The only relief is to get some food into your body. And when you eat, what a feeling! Initially, you gobble down the food but then you slow and savor each morsel. You have a renewed appreciation for the tastes that you are experiencing. None of these emotions and feelings compare to those who are starving to death. A dismal situation at best which often results in the body rejecting the food provided to it.
The same situation applies to our soul. As Christians, we often experience times of famine from Christ's blessings. In those times of hunger, we long for his blessings and gobble them up when they reappear. And the peace that comes from savoring the knowledge that God truly loves you! He will not allow us to perish but will allow us to hunger for his blessings. And what a sweet blessing when they appear! Sadly, the opposite occurs with the unbeliever - he rejects or ignores the blessing provided.
Are you going through a desolate phase in your relationship with Christ? Cry out to Him and plead with Him to restore your relationship. The restoration is such a cleansing experience that will strengthen your relationship and allow you to savor every morsel of his love!
