How many of us are this thirsty for God?
A hermit was meditating by a river when a young man interrupted him. "Master, I wish to become your disciple," said the man. "Why?" replied the hermit. The young man thought for a moment. "Because I want to find God."
The master jumped up, grabbed him by the scruff of his neck, dragged him into the river, and plunged his head under water. After holding him there for a minute, with him kicking and struggling to free himself, the master finally pulled him up out of the river. The young man coughed up water and gasped to get his breath. When he eventually quieted down, the master spoke. "Tell me, what did you want most of all when you were under water."
"Air!" answered the man.
"Very well," said the master. "Go home and come back to me when you want God as much as you just wanted air."

Yes I hunger & I thirst for Jesus. I want to fo focus on him 24/7 . I want to please him by obeying him. I want to experience him however, I hear a lot of people say they are filled with the Holy Spirit and I also asked that but, how come I don't feel it? Or is it possible for me to be filled with the Holy Spirit and not know it. In any case I need him when I breath in and out through out the day and night in all the things I do when I'm happy or sad. I know he will quench my thirst and fill my hunger. Pray for me to feel the Holy Spirit. Come Holy Spirit Fill me with your presence. Amen.
God bless everybody,

One night I cried out to God that I was spiritually hungry and thirsty for Him and I know He heard my prayer because I turned on the tv and there was a show on and across the screen these words were written;" Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for rightousness for they shall be filled".
I hunger to get closer and closer to Jesus Christ...I feel like I can never get enough...

I believe that it is the best relationship you can have. Not just some all powerful God that sits in the clouds but a God that holds you up when your weak ,holds you in his hands when your hurt,loves you when your not too sure if anyone else does. A friend that sticks closer then a brother.

the hunger and thirst i have for God is truly indescribable. I long to be in heaven with him so very much. Jesus and His love, it completes me, makes me whole. I wish everyone could get a glimpse of God's everlasting love for them and they would fall in love with him like i did. I love you my Lord my God with all my heart and soul and strength. To die for you would be gain Lord. You alone are worthy of all our praise forever and ever amen

We seriously need to overcome immature fears about being
made fun of by immature people. And share our personal spiritual experiences with each other.
