My heart pants for the Lord." Is it time to say, "Lord, give me an insatiable appetite for You"? Maybe you'll want to un-streamline the God time in your life and grow beyond the point of "How short can we make this?" And grow to the point where you can say, "Lord, I can't get enough of You." http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/the-surprising-end-of-a-long-search-6132 2010-07-23T15:31:00-05:00 the God who puts us here is what we've been looking for. We were made for a love relationship with Him. But, according to the Bible, "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23 ). We were created for God, but we've lived for ourselves. And we've lost Him, and thus the hole in our heart. That restlessness - that lack of peace and fulfillment - that's an echo of another world; the constant reminder that God is missing. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hosea%2013:5-7&version=NIV 2009-08-06T15:00:48-05:00 We're all looking for a little satisfaction, and once we get it it's easy to forget where we came from. Hosea speaks of how the Israelites cried out to be satisfied while in the desert, and once they got what they wanted, they promptly forgot the one who gave them satisfaction.
