Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied
Or better understood: "blessed are those who knowingly unrighteous hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied"
God REFORMS our appetite
The hunger and thirst for righteousness heals the compulsion of eating, it heals the obsession of desiring sexual intimacy, it heals the egocentricity of achieving greatness; If you hunger and thirst for righteousness you crave what God craves - the divine appetite!
It was a great reminder for me that Jesus offers Himself to me every day, and He promises that He will satisfy. Seeing my relationship with Him through this sense brings me to a place of remorse as I realize that I don't always take advantage of His offering to me. It grieves me to know that sometimes I can choose myself over the free gift that I've been given daily through Christ.
