Day 85:: Salivating

I realized something about myself today. I do have a sincere, intense hunger for God...in a way. I hunger for more understanding and knowledge of Him, not in a trivia way but still in a very intellectual way...in a deep and deeper way. I like to "eat my fill of prime rib and gravy..." but then, what I realized is the way I consume it does not always leave me smacking my lips and shouting praises. It's kind of like I like to collect these deep thoughts, these theories, these words...I like to meditate on them...I like to think...a lot...but I need to make sure that all of even THIS is to the glory of God, which means that even all of this understanding-God-driven-passion leads to WORSHIPPING Him, not pride...and leads to PRAISING HIM, not just intellectualizing. I suppose what I mean is that I need to become a person that can't get enough of GOD, rather than the person I can be sometimes...can't get enough of an idea, a theology, an understanding, etc. I know this probably makes sense to NO ONE but me, but its out there anyway.
