"On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, 'If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink.' "
Our problem is not that there are not abundant resources of happiness, joy, pleasure, fulfillment, purpose, meaning, and contentment. Our big problem is simply that we do not *want* them badly enough. It is a great blessing to hunger and thirst for Christ (and the righteousness and life that He alone can provide).
If you are not feeling the hunger "pangs" in your soul--ask God to give
them to you. It is better to thirst for Jesus, than to be filled with the chaff of the world.
[Puritan quote of the day: "Whatever may be wished for in an all-sufficient Comforter is all to be found in Christ." --Richard
Sibbes, in "The Bruised Reed"]
