HOPE FOR EACH DAY
My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.
Psalm 84;2
Have you ever been under water for a period of time that is longer than you had expected? You know as the time ticks away, how desparate you become to reach the surface and breathe the air. The greater the time you are under water, the more you long for a breathe of air until the desire overwhelms you, and you rush to get to the surface as rapidly as possible. You have no other thoughts but quenching your need for air.
That is what it means to "long for God," to feel unfulfilled without Him, even more than we need air, and we yearn to be filled with His presence. "My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God."
God wants us to be satisfied with nothing less than Himself. And we are never more fulfilled than when we know Him. Ask God to give you a new hunger for Him, so you may become filled with "the fullness of Christ" (Ephesians 4;13).

Always remember, with God all things are possible.
