CRAVE

A strong feeling of wanting something. Pause

That pretty much sums up life. Chasing a feeling that there's something more, something out there you should be doing, having, enjoying, and you're not. Crave keeps luring you down endless paths of hope to no avail. Wherever you go, that strong feeling of want goes with you. A good place to Pause.

In life, there is and will always be a craving for something more. It is what it is. But the good news is that you have the power to decide what that is. What will breathe endless satisfaction and peace into your life. I'm only a Momma bear, but in the making I have compiled a list of fool proof, never to disappoint, cravings worth sharing.

1. Crave rest. Until you can sense it in the busy. Feel it in the midst of conflict. Taste it in the bitter. Don't stop, for it is your promise. (Matt 11:28)

2. Crave wisdom. Until you can see the unseen obstacles of ego and pride, and reach beyond. For better judgement. Better decisions. Better ways. Long for wisdom. (James 3:17)

3. Crave obedience. Pray without ceasing. Plan without procrastinating. Go without hesitating. Don't look back. And if you do, that's ok. Just crave more. (1 Sam 15:22)

4. Crave humility. Knowing that everything you have could be gone tomorrow. Life is uncertain. We are not as powerful as we think, nor invincible as we pretend. In stepping down, we lift others up. (Phil.2:8)

5. Crave kindness. Everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle. (Eph 4:32)

These are just a few of mine, you will have more. Remember, the mind is a powerful weapon against runaway emotions, so train it well. Set your mind to crave the things that are above, and I promise you will have more than you could ever ask or imagine.

Bless.
