Today during high school service we had a competition. Without knowing what the competition was, I volunteered to participate. The challenge was to eat 6 saltine crackers in less than 60 seconds. It was tough stuff and I was left feeling incredibly thirsty! This game made me realize how many times in life I am left feeling thirsty. Our society seeks after so many worldly things that will never fully satisfy us. For example: grades, success, good looks, money, human relationships... you name it, we want it! But the truth is that even when we get the things that we desire, we still want more. Jesus is the only one that can fully satisfy our thirst. Augustine once said that God puts salt on our tongues that we may thirst for Him. Sometimes it is tears which carry the salt. What do you thirst for?
