Yum, Yum “Do nut mind if I have another one”
What do you crave? They were hot, deep fried homemade doughnuts and I just could not get enough of them. I would lift one to my mouth and just at the touch of my wet tongue they would start to dissolve! My mom has a special recipe for homemade doughnuts that just tears up my central nervous system and works the two largest muscles in my body, my tongue and my GUT! She can take a can of biscuits roll them out, place a little hole in the middle, then deep fry them in that hot grease. They come out crispy and I’m like a kid at Christmas as I watch them just laying there cooling, waiting for the next step. For fun we fill up bags of X Ten Powdered Sugar and my little girl, Macy, and I dance while shaking the little round delicacies up and down in a storage bag. At that moment I could not care less that the average doughnut has over 200 calories and I could not care even less that I have been screaming at the scales for months now! I just can’t get enough. I feel no conviction as I am eating those hot, delicious, mouthwatering doughnuts with a glass of cold milk….. well glory, I better stop!
You know that is where I want to be with my relationship with Jesus. As long as I have breath, I want a life that hungers for God! Friends, I don’t want to simply desire Him, but I want to crave HIM and His Word. I have spent too much of my life pursuing things of the world; I do not want to settle for the “junk” offered by Satan that is displeasing and unsatisfying for your spiritual appetite! I want to know God more, I want to love Him more, I want to seek Him, pray and read His Word. I crave for HIS presence in my life.
“As a deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, O God.” Psalm 42:1

Love this post, Beverly!! Oh, what a beautiful picture it would be if we all craved more of God instead of finding satisfaction in the petty things of this world. God is amazing and wonderful and can fill us more fully than anything…oh, to have that sort of desire & longing…
Love your heart girl!! Keep looking up!
