It’s Jesus you need

Sometimes I just feel a craving for something. At first, I think it’s my favorite meal but after eating I feel uneasy. “This is not it” I say to myself. Then at other times I feel it’s a craving for love but then that doesn’t satisfy either. This feeling can be so uncomfortable but subtle and yet consume my whole being till I’m driven sometimes to desperation. Do you feel like that too?

Recently, I found a secret formula to help me overcome this deep feeling of need. I believe it’s the Holy Spirit who brought my attention to this. All I need is Jesus (and some vitamins because I don’t eat healthy a lot, but that’s my problem). Most of the time we go searching for things that don’t satisfy and the world drains us like squeezing honey from the honeycomb until we have nothing left to offer. They’ll tell you it’s okay to feel that way, just go shopping or visit your favorite restaurant or watch a movie, and as you engage in these activities that give us all temporary highs we find ourselves stuck in an endless cycle of emptiness. We will keep feeling empty as long as we try to fill our lives with anything but Jesus. Try Jesus, try breaking into tongues or just praying or worshipping or even praising when you feel lost and empty and see what that does to your spirit, then compare that to what you feel after engaging in other activities.

Write this down and make it a point to try it later when you have a deep craving for something you can’t quite put your finger on and let me know how you feel afterwards. ????

Jesus replied, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry again. Whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.
