When there's a physical hunger you naturally look for something to satisfy it. You may eat almost any food because at that moment, it is enough as long as it fills ur stomach. U may not end up eating food that benefits ur body in the long run. But at the time, it doesnt really matter.
Then what happens when there's spiritual hunger? A desire in the spirit for something. Maybe it's love or security or acceptance or a sort of high. U may end up looking for it in a romantic relationship, material wealth, gossip, public attention, sexual arousals etc. It may satisfy u n u'll come back looking for it again the second time. But it gives ur spirit no lasting benefits.
God built in us that desire n only God alone can satisfy it.
Take in the things that feed ur spirit the best when u are hungry. Let it stay n brew in u and u'll experience the difference that it brings. The difference that no worldly thing can make.
This is really beautiful. A girl in turquoise once said, "Let a heart rooted in God's love, so saturated, be the most precious possession in your life."
