Hungry?

“but in everything commending ourselves as servants of God, in much endurance, in afflictions, in hardships, in distressed, in beatings, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in sleeplessness, in hunger” from II Corinthians 6:1-10

“’Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, ‘He gave them bread out of Heaven to eat.’ Jesus therefore said to them, ‘Truly, truly, I say to you, it is not Moses who has given you the bread out of Heaven, but it is My Father who gives you the true bread out of Heaven. For the bread of God is that which comes down out of Heaven, and gives life to the world.’ They said therefore to Him, ‘Lord, evermore give us this bread.’ Jesus said the them, ‘I am the bread of life; he who comes to Me shall not hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst.’” John 6:31-35

In our world today only 30% of the population has access to clean, safe drinking water, 30% of the world lives on the equivalent of $1 USD per day. We turn on the faucet and there’s water, we open the fridge or go to the grocery and there’s food. Few of us will ever know physical hunger or thirst. Yet, there’s no greater hunger in man than to be in a relationship with God. It’s indelibly and mysteriously stamped in each heart. Only One can ever fill this hunger and if we have a personal relationship with Christ, we know the way to help others find this food and drink.

Know His Word. Take care. Your servant & friend in Christ, Darlene
