THE HUNGERS AND THIRSTS

OF THE HUMAN HEART

When one is hungry, one looks for food.
When one is thirsty, one looks for water.
When one is hungry, one looks for comfort.
When one is thirsty, one looks to be satisfied.
When one is hungry, one looks for love.
When one is thirsty, one looks for friends.
When one is hungry, one looks for bread.
When one is thirsty, one looks for wine.
When one is hungry, one looks for meaning.
When one is thirsty, one looks for answers.
When one is hungry, one looks for the Someone.
When one is thirsty, one looks for God.
When God is hungry, God looks for us.
When God is thirsty, God finds us.
