Topic: Hunger (07/04/24)
“My Hunger and Thrist”

“Psalm 42:1 As the deer longs for streams of water, so I long for you, O God.“

After a few year of being a Christian, I find I have a Hunger to know GOD better. I have a computer program that tells me what to read to read the entire Bible in one year. When I have extra time, I find myself asking GOD if I can read another day worth of reading my Bible.

I find that I cannot stretch out my Bible reading to one year. It usually takes me between ten and a half and eleven months to finish reading the Bible. Then I turn to Genesis 1:1 and start reading again.

I find myself with a strong desire to know what GOD likes and what GOD dislikes. Before I met Jesus I would cry tear because I was sad. Now I cry tears because I am full of the Joy of the Lord. Often when people ask me how I am doing, I like to respond that I am so full of the Spirit, that He is coming out of my ears.

If I do not see you before, I want to see you in Heaven.

This is a sweet sentiment that many people can relate to. You definitely touch on the topic, but the theme could be scattered more throughout the article. It's vital to proofread before you submit or ask someone else to do so. Some simple restructuring of sentences could help the flow a bit. For example if I were to edit this, I might suggest something like: A few years after I devoted my life to Christ, I hungered to get to know Him even more. Using a read-the-Bible-in-a year program, I've been eager to devour the books as quickly as God allows.
That's just a quick suggestion to show ways to mix up sentence structure and avoid that awkward part where you repeat "to read" back-to-back.
I like the Bible verses you selected. They really reenforce your message. With some tweaking, I think this would make a nice devotion. Good job.

I felt your passion for the Lord and His Word.
I print my entries out and read them out loud to help me find little errors. Just a suggestion as I find it hard to find my mistakes on the screen
Bless you!

Great to read of your hunger. Isn't God good? I will most certainly look you up in Heaven.
