The Hunger for More
Are you tired of feeling empty, like there must be more to life? Do you often find yourself searching for something to fill the void, only to come up short? You’re not alone. Many of us wander through life, wondering if this is all there is.
A Promise of Satisfaction
But Jesus has a different message for us. “I am the bread of life,” He says. “Whoever comes to me will never be hungry again. Whoever believes in me will never be thirsty” (John 6:35, NLT). He’s not just talking about physical hunger and thirst, but the deep-seated longing we all have for meaning and purpose.
The Great I Am
Jesus takes authority over our feelings of emptiness, declaring Himself to be the Great I Am, the one who is more than sufficient for our every need. He alone can fill the holes in our hearts, satisfying our deepest desires and quenching our thirst for more.
A Life of Abundance
In Him, we find a life that’s full of abundance, not scarcity. We’re no longer hungry or thirsty, because He is our all-sufficient God. He satisfies our every need, and in Him, we find a life that’s full of purpose and meaning.
Reflecting on God’s Love
As David Crowder so eloquently puts it, “There’s no space that His love can’t reach / There’s no place where we can’t find peace / There’s no end to Amazing Grace” (“I Am”, Neon Steeple). Take a moment to reflect on these lyrics, and seek the One who seeks you.
A Prayer for Sufficiency
Father, open my eyes that I may see. Open my heart that I may know and understand how sufficient You are. Lord, I don’t want to hunger and thirst anymore. Fill me, Oh Lord; let my cup overflow with all of who You are, because of what You have done for me. I want to rest in Your all-sufficient grace, no longer needing anything of this world. What I really need is You, my Great I Am. Amen.
Taking It to God
Is there an area in your life where you feel like a need is not being met? Take it to Him in prayer, lay it at His feet, and trust in His grace that He is who He says He is. Remember, He is the Great I Am, and He is more than sufficient for all your needs.
