Lately, I’ve felt hungry for more.
Not more stuff.
Not more achievement.
Not even more time.
Just more.
More stillness.
More patience.
More energy.
More confidence.
More purpose in the work I do.
More awareness of the opportunities God places in front of me.
And for a while, I wondered if that made me ungrateful.
Because I have so much to be thankful for.
But I don’t think gratitude and hunger are opposites.
I think sometimes they exist together.
I can be grateful for where I am
while still believing God isn’t finished growing me.
I can appreciate this season
while still feeling drawn toward something deeper.
Maybe that’s what hunger is.
Not dissatisfaction.
Invitation.
“You, God, are my God, earnestly I seek you; I thirst for you, my whole being longs for you…”
— Psalm 63:1 (NIV)
