Discussion Hunger and thirst for righteousness!

I have no idea what quaker theology is, but it sounds like you do the same thing.

Look it up on Wikipedia and then you will know.

My hunger and thirst is never ending. when the scriptures say hungering and thirsting for righteousness I see it as saying hungering and thirsting for God the same as when it says seek first the kingdom of heaven to me this saying to seek his heart.

I am never satisfied never filled because I have a very greedy and hungry heart and love for him enough is never enough, but it is this hunger and this starvation that makes me seek him all the more that makes me chase him wherever he may go makes me seek him however I can and I know that in the end I will find him in the end his heart is going to be mine for I have already claimed it.

when i was still early in my faith God and I had a very special moment together that I will never forget. I sometimes lay in bed and just be with him and during this time he and I were pouring our love for each other into each others hearts and I saw suddenly his heart in my minds eye and I endearingly branded it with my name and with the words mine and the same time I saw him brand on my forehead the word mine.

Hungering and thirsting after a closer walk with God and a greater sensitivity to His voice is quite normal and acceptable, but it is the wrong use of the word "righteousness". We are already satisfied in terms of righteousness because God has given it to us as a gift. But we do groan within ourselves because we live in a sinful body with its restrictions and hindrances while our hearts want to soar like eagles to do the will of God and to use His abilities and tools to do the work He has for us to do. We groan within ourselves because we long, with all creation which groans also, to be revealed as the glorified sons of God. That is why you hunger and thirst.
