Filled up
Spiritual hunger is the desire to be filled with something more satisfying than what materialism offers. If you’ve ever felt a nagging emptiness brought on by selfish pursuits, you are ready to be filled with spiritual food and drink, the kind that Jesus referred to in his Sermon on the Mount:
Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. (Matthew 5:6)
Spiritual food and drink are always available to meet our needs and sustain us in right endeavors. We need quiet longing prayer, pure aims and unselfish desires to feel God’s presence and know the abundant satisfaction He supplies.
Our Wednesday topic, at the April 30th Testimony Meeting, will consider how emptiness can be filled up with nourishing inspiration—or bread and pure water—from our Father-Mother God.
You are welcome to join us tonight at Brookdale in Glen Ellyn or by Zoom. We meet at 7:30 pm in the Roosevelt Room. Readings will be given followed by a time for those attending to share inspiration and healing experiences in Christian Science.

Here is Jesus’ reply to the Samaritan woman at Jacob’s well in the book of John, chapter 4, in the Bible:
Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
