“Yeh Dil maange MORE...!!!”



“Yeh Dil maange MORE...!!!”

Let’s read Psalm 34: 8a & Psalm 42: 1,2a in tandem

“Taste and see that the Lord is good.......
As a deer pants for flowing streams, so pants my soul for you, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.....”

When do you ask for more? When do you thirst for something? Only after you have tasted it at least for once and know its satisfying properties. All of us have this yearning to meet a friend or a family member at one point or the other? Why do we yearn? Only because we have tasted their fellowship before..! We know from our past how comforting, joyful, refreshing and re-assuring the experience of our fellowship with them will be.  

Similarly, in the above scripture portion the Psalmist is yearning for God. Bodily thirst can be quenched by water but the thirst of your soul can only be quenched by supernatural water. And only Jesus can give this soul satisfying drink. That is why Jesus said to the Samaritan woman – Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.(John 4:13). 

Are you not thirsty for God? Are you not yearning for His fellowship? If your answer is YES then the reason could be very simple – You may not have tasted God and His true fellowship yet. Anyone who tastes a well prepared Hyderabadi Biryani would want to have it again and again. Anyone who tasted God and His true fellowship will never stop seeking Him.

"Taste Him......Thirst for Him.....Be filled to the brim......Remain satisfied in Him...!!!"
