THE HUNGER AND THE THIRST
Matthew 5:6
" 'Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled.' "
Some people call it "God-consciousness." Others call it a "God-shaped hole." Blaise Pascal, a Christian philosopher of yore, wrote, "What else does this craving, and this helplessness, proclaim but that there was once in man a true happiness, of which all that now remains is the empty print and trace? This he tries in vain to fill with everything around him .... This infinite abyss can be filled only with an infinite and immutable object; in other words, by God himself." People try their best to satisfy this craving in their hearts – to fill the vacuum – but are not satisfied. God-consciousness can only be sated by God Himself. The person who has a longing for God and His righteousness is blessed because he can find in Jesus true fulfillment and satisfaction.
TODAY'S PRINCIPLE: Only God can fill the empty heart.

Have a satisfied day. Love you.
