Hunger and Thirst - The Power That Focuses Your Life

One of the challenges in the Christian life is to rightly value the place of hunger equally to the place of being filled. This beatitude in Matthew 5:6 emphasizes the blessedness of the hungry not the blessedness of those who are filled.

We need a revolution in our thinking with regard to the pains we experience in hunger for God. “Make yourself a capacity and I will make myself a torrent” (Saint Angela). God wants to give Himself completely to us! He doesn’t want to give us a ‘trickle’ on the inside (John 4:14), but a torrent. However, we must make ourselves a capacity.
