Hungry?
A hole in each of us
opening our essence
Challenging us to more.
So we run
Or sleep
or pretend fulfilled life,
we blunt
Bludgeon the hunger
Bit by bit
whacking the mole
filling the hole
With faking scraps
Spending our soul
labouring on never satisfaction
Seeking
Distraction and dissatisfaction
a swallowing snake
of small shallow things
consuming
joy and freedom.
So ask…
for the hunger
for the stirring
for new moments
for more,
Pursue God,
Seek hungry friends
Awaken hunger in others
Awaken the sleepers
Who are just waiting
for your words,
for your actions.
But first -
Ask
Seek
Desire
Hunger!
Starting Thoughts: Are we just trying to fill a hole in our lives? How hungry are we for God to change our lives, starting with ourselves?
