He thirsts for your love and your trust in Him?

Hmm, not according to the bible and biblical scholars.
But you folks are always re- and mis-interpreting it to suit your needs anyway, why should you be any different?

Your assertion is not wrong about Christ's character, but it has almost nothing to do with this part of Scripture, because afterwards it says that they gave Him this damn vinegar wine to drink, which probably didn't taste very good, so my guess is that He was actually physically thirsty. However, that being said, you are right to say that Jesus does thirst for everyone to love Him and trust in Him, just not entirely from this passage of Scripture.

And here I thought he was asking for a drink because he felt dehydrated from bleeding and hanging up there in the wind. Silly me.
Hey, isn't God supposed to be self-sufficient? Does he get depressed if I don't send him an Easter card? Don't make God look so petty! You're worse than the nuns ever were!

Yes. And I am pretty confident that He also was physically thirsty then, He was here in human form. And what did people give Him?
No wonder He prays " Father, forgive them for they do not know what they are doing? "

He was fulfilling a prophecy. When he said that they gave him the vinegar mixed with water on a stick with a rag/sponge.

You're wrong - he actually thirsted the thirstquencher - Gatorade!

I think he was dehydrated from being out in the elements for so long

I imagine this is correct, but I am sure that is not what he meant when he was on the cross.

I find that kind of mawkish sentimentality slightly distasteful.
