Blessed are the Thirsty

"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled."

 (Matthew 5:6)

Word of the day: Righteousness

Definition: God the Father is righteous (just); Jesus Christ his Son is the Righteous (Just) One; the Father through the Son and in the Spirit gives the gift of righteousness (justice) to repentant sinners for salvation; such believing sinners are declared righteous (just) by the Father through the Son, are made righteous (just) by the Holy Spirit working in them, and will be wholly righteous (just) in the age to come. They are and will be righteous because they are in a covenant relation with the living God, who is the God of all grace and mercy and who will bring to completion what he has begun in them by declaring them righteous for Christ's sake. :-) (Bible Study Tools)

"As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God?" (Psalm 42:1-2)

"Blessed are those whose strength is in You,

whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.

As they pass through the Valley of Baka,

they make it a place of springs;

the early rains also cover it with pools.

They go from strength to strength,

till each appears before God in Zion."

(Psalm 84: 5-7) :-)

♫ Love is all we need ♫ :) "Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for mankind, for he satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things." (Psalm 107: 8-9)

"My soul will be satisfied as with the richest of foods; with singing lips my mouth will praise you." (Psalm 63:5) =)

( God told me it's okay to thirst - He gave us that desire in us- the longing for love and intimacy but we also have to wait on God coz He is the only One who can satisfy our innermost longing, our soul thirst. The scripture I've posted above gives me Hope. So let's thirst and wait. Thirst and wait :)
