“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.” ~Jesus~
Only those who are empty can hunger and thirst. Only those who have experienced fullness have a name for emptiness.
- When you watch the morning news and WISH that war would end, that is hunger and thirst for righteousness.
- When you wish your company would treat it’s workers with more dignity, that is hunger and thirst for righteousness.
- When you realize that our healthcare system doesn’t work for everyone, that is hunger and thirst for righteousness.
- When you watch a marriage dissolve and it makes you sick to think about the pain involved, that is hunger and thirst for righteousness.
- When you keep coming back to that addiction you have and you hate yourself in the morning, that is hunger and thirst for righteousness.
When you see the brokenness of the world and roll your eyes and wish that people would just get over their problems, you don’t hunger and thirst for righteousness.
