blessed are the poor in spirit,
those who hunger and thirst for righteousness.

there is fullness and freedom here.
i have access to abundance, here and now.
so what do i really crave?
living water.
bread of life.
heavenly cravings will be satisfied.

the fullness of the father is in me,
i am satisfied.
the fullness of me is in the father,
i am whole,
and wholly loved.

abundance is here,
in the father’s house,
there is freedom here,
there is fullness here,
because the father is here.

i can be filled with the fullness,
i have no lack.
i can be drenched in satisfaction,
in enough-ness,
it is ready to be received.

i don’t want to hunger and thirst anymore.
awaken the deeper desire.
reveal the greater longing.
jesus, come touch my deepest thirst and release my lesser appetites.
may i trust the faithfulness,
then trust the fullness.
fill me again.

drink, eat, taste, see.
partake.
receive.
life to the full.
