Eating Gelato in Italy
Do you ever get cravings? The sweet-toothed among use might crave chocolate, or cheesecake, ice cream, etc. The salty/sour ones might crave potato chips, nachos, cheese & crackers, etc. Then there are the spicy ones among us. Anything hot – chicken wings, jalapeno poppers (YES!), Thai food. How about acquired tastes? You may not have liked crab the first few times you tried it but now it’s something you look forward to.
There’s something about that feeling of fulfilling that craving. Ahh, homemade jalapeno poppers with cream cheese and bacon. Let it burn! Give me another. Oh, that one was a lively one. Give me another. Oh, that one was lame. Give me another. Get me a glass of water! Give me another. You get the point.
Do you ever crave connection with God? Psalm 42:1-2 says, “As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, O God. 2 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God?”
I think that connection with God can be an acquired taste. The more we connect with Him, the more we want to.
So what do you crave? Or rather, who?
