Hunger and Thrist

My heart raced as I journey back home after talking to Joel about this week's message. As I think on what he said, "We must always hunger and thirst for righteous." What does he really mean by that? It means that WE must get out of our so called "comfort zone". We must always keep hunger and thirst what we truly want. An example he gave me was that if you wanted a new phone, camera, game console or anything is not within your allowance or budget. What will you do then? Wait around for the things you want to drop on your head? No right? We will think of ways to get it. Ways such as working, saving your cash, and sacrificing the extra things that we use everyday. I believe most of us know ways to achieve that thing you want so badly.

So in the spiritual terms, how is it different? Well, it's also in the same way, just that the goals are different. In some sense, it's to strive to be like the best person out there. Hard to achieve? Yes. It's like when we take upon the name Christian. What does that mean? Sure the textbox answer is that we are followers of Christ. BUT!!! What does it mean to be followers of Christ? Followers of Christ are people who WILL go to the ends of the world to preach the word of God. If you think ends of the world is far, then look around you. How many people are out there around you who are NOT Christian? So why do we do? We sit back and just wait for God to come and take us home? He might take you and he might not. But which is worse? Meeting Him in person and asking us who did we really reach out to. Or staying back and facing so many tribulations? So to hunger and thirst for righteousness, it’s a never ending striving. It's like can you be the most righteous man in the word? If you can, then you are most probably filled already.

Another example would be your grades. If you get an A or B or C or a Pass and you are okay with that, that is not striving, that is just being happy and where you are. If you aim to get like an A+, then that is a goal. But what if you cannot achieve that goal? Then just continue. Same like in a spiritual context. Do you dare to take the risk to be violated, beaten, look down upon, and be called names? I tell you the truths, if you can do that, then you are just like Jesus. I mean, suffer then suffer la. Jesus also suffered for us. Do not forget the humiliation that we have watched on Passion Of The Christ.

"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, For they shall be filled" Matthew 5: 6
