Redefinition

Another groggy morning... I climb out of bed too early, because falling back asleep is clearly impossible. The voices bombard my brain... but I haven't decided which ones to listen to yet. I'm not anxious... because I know where to start. Of all the hunger, cravings and aches... my spirit takes precedence. I know what sustains.

My mind tells me to dream...
My body wants to die...
My textbooks try to remind me of my exam tomorrow... but they need to learn to speak up.
My americano gently whispers, "Hey, don't do anything rash here. Take some time to figure this out... that's it... sit back..."

This morning could not be long enough.

1 “Is anyone thirsty?
Come and drink—
even if you have no money!
Come, take your choice of wine or milk—
it’s all free!
2 Why spend your money on food that does not give you strength?
Why pay for food that does you no good?
Listen to me, and you will eat what is good.
You will enjoy the finest food.

3 “Come to me with your ears wide open.
Listen, and you will find life.
I will make an everlasting covenant with you.
I will give you all the unfailing love I promised to David."

Isaiah 55

Know to identify your cravings, and don't be deceived in to spending your energy on what doesn't satisfy. Your cravings are good, but we can way too easily fill them with what doesn't satisfy. Only He can satisfy the whole dynamic of your being... and He is the only one that offers it... free of charge.
