Soul Cravings

Hey guys,its been fullon here! 2010 is in its 3rd month and we are trusting God its going to be our best year ever!Muse on my recent posting and leave your comments.

...He has also set eternity in the hearts of men Ecc 3:11

Every Billy Graham outreach of any kind begins with the same unnamable ache. That ache is discovered when people from every walk of life come to the end of their resources—finding themselves lost.
There is a pause, a sigh, a groan and they look up from an empty bottle of pills, or they step outside and begin a listless ramble along the highway, or they come trembling to the brink of suicide. And at that moment—at just the right moment—a message of hope comes to them.
This ache—that sense of emptiness, of having no purpose—is where many of our stories begin. Have you ever stopped to consider why we as humans crave intimacy, destiny and meaning? We are all searching for intimacy. Our search for intimacy explains our need for community, relationships, belonging, love and acceptance. We were designed to experience intimacy, loving God and each other. It’s God’s design and plan for humans to have these cravings. Soul cravings are a part of the stories of our lives. Someone has said it is God’s story and our story, woven together with themes of the Bible—from beginning to the end.
Not all senses of need are caused by bad actions. Millions feel, as the philosopher Pascal once put it, that there is a “God-shaped vacuum” in their heart. They know that something big is missing from their lives and that something is gnawing at them, prompting them to search for some way to feed that hunger. Many begin searching early in life for the missing piece and ultimately discover that it is actually a relationship---A relationship with God through his son Jesus Christ. Many have discovered that when they begin to reach out to God, He has already been reaching out to them.
