For me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. Philippians 1:21
At the beginning of the new year the Lord spoke over me the word “crave.” He asked me, “What are you craving?” I had to sit down and reflect on the past month where he revealed to me where I was putting my worth in. I was craving what others thought about me. He spoke to me and said, “Why are you craving the attention of others and not my attention?” This was hard to admit to myself because it’s something I had never struggled with it. I am very independent and I had never longed for the approval of others. I know that I have God’s attention, but in that time He didn’t have mine. After processing through it and discovering what the Lord says and thinks about me, I started to crave other things.
Now, I wake up every morning craving the Word of God. I crave his presence and his love. I crave discipleship. I go to bed sometimes restless because I can’t get over how amazing our God is. The Word of God and my relationship with Christ has changed my life. I am at the point where I would die for the Gospel.
I am now in month six of the race. I look back at the first month of Guatemala and see how much I’ve grown because of the Father. My cravings have changed. I am no longer hungry for what the world has to offer. Only He can fill me up.
