Ravenous

Dinner with Jesus
“He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything.” Luke 15:16

*     *     *     *     *

Empty pods.

Filling our stomachs, filling our souls.

Each day goes by- and every night.
Another 24 hours to find something, anything, to fill this craving heart.
And to set it right.

We stuff our empty hearts with empty pods. Always hoping that this time it’ll be different, that this time we’ll be filled. So hollow is every bite that we become ravenous and run to slop to feed us. But it’s empty in the end. Empty and bitter. And no one gives us anything better. No one.

Jesus, only You are Life! Everything else, all else is slop.
But You are the Feast of our hearts- fattened calf to our souls.

Jesus- let’s eat. I’m starving.
