Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. (Matthew 5: 6)
I read that during the days of the Great Depression in this country there was such a famine of bread that families had to go to soup kitchens or bread trucks and wait in long lines in awful conditions just to get enough food for one meal. They did not have a concern for what the kitchen looked like, or the bread truck, or those who served.
Never did they ever think of not going because the time did not suit them just right. It was not a concern how far they might have to travel or that they were required to go back time-after-time for each meal. No. None of those things mattered for one simple reason: they were hungry. The only thing that mattered was getting the bread.
So it is when God gives a hunger for Christ the Bread .
