my tummy is growling.

BEATITUDE 4

"blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied." - Matthew 5:6



yeahh i know, i skipped from the first to the fourth beatitude. i haven't eaten all day because i've been studying for exams and i've been running all over the place to get stuff done. but i thought i'd take a 20 minute break and do my qt, rather than doing something i know would be considered as precious timewasting.

so yeah, those who know me know that i absolutely love food. and right now, considering the fact that i haven't eaten anything all day, i'm STARVING. my sister's buying me dinner tonight =)

but anyway, i thought i could relate to this beatitude, as my stomach is saying "feedme!!"

i sometimes wish i can be like this with my spiritual life. when we're hungry, we stufff our faces with food.. and then we become content. when we're desperate for God,,, we don't feed ourselves enough, hence the reason why i feel like my heart is never content. it's those simple baby steps that make it so hard for us. when we're hungry and thirsty for God, all it takes is to open our bibles and read.

the hunger that i have for food right now... can hopefully be the hunger that i have for God.

the satisfaction that i get for eating... can hopefully be the satisfaction that i have for spending time with God.
