Learning

God did a wonderful work in my at the end of May. But there is much more work to be done, so I'm embarking on a journey to growing closer to God and to my son. I've been on this journey for a few days now. Tonight, my son is gone to grandma's and so it's just me and God. I have given up the things that seem to satisfy me on this quest to know God more. I say seem because I know that they don't truly; only God can do that. However, there are times when I have craved or desired things of this world more than God and I know it's because of where my heart is. The only way to change that is to seek after Him and that's exactly what I am doing. So tonight, I was feeling a bit empty/lonely/unsatisfied. This was in part due to the fact that I haven't been able to have the things that usually "satisfy" the most. As I laid on my bed thinking about all this, I gained a revelation of what it means to run to Him when you are empty. I couldn't go to the things I normally would go to. I had to not only go to Him and trust Him to fill me. I know in my head that God is greater than anything I could experience on earth. I know that the word says that only He can satisfy our souls. It's been a matter of hungry, desperation, and trust for me to get to the point that I truly learn what that means.
