Starving

the other day i had the realization that i was starving.
i didnt notice it for a long time because i was so stuffed.
yep thats what i meant to say.
i realized that i fill myself so full of food, and work, and
family, and internet and TV, and lists and whatever else
i can think of to try to cram into my "stomach" that i dont
notice that i am still extremely hungry.
Jesus says that we dont live by bread alone and i wonder
if this is what he was talking about, that maybe my hunger
is for something less phsyical and more spiritual. maybe it
is something that only he can satisfy. i assume that is true
but it doesnt make it any easier to adhere to that belief
i will continue to be hungry and continue to stuff myself
with things that keep me from the good food until i choose to
believe jesus when he told his friends that he had food they
didnt know about.
"God increase my hunger for you, may my hunger for you
grow to be more that the hunger of my flesh"

"blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness for they will be filled"-Jesus
