I have mastered my Chipotle order, and I’m getting hungry just typing it out for you. Prepare yourself for this glory.
Burrito bowl. White rice, but light, because balance is important here. Half pinto, half black beans, because nobody is forcing me to make that choice, so I’m not going to. Fajita veggies. Guac on the side. Cheese. Corn: extra. Lettuce: extra. Plus one bag of chips to be used exclusively as spoons, and possibly a few additional chips quietly borrowed from my daughter’s bag.
I don’t order like this by accident. I hit “reorder” from my Chipotle app with the confidence of someone who has been here before. The confidence of someone who may or may not have been awarded a “top 1%” of Chipotle eaters nationwide. I know exactly what satisfies me when it comes to a Chipotle burrito bowl.
So I thought of Chipotle this week when I read what Jesus said in Matthew 5:6. “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.”
Biblical righteousness isn’t just about becoming morally good or trying harder to do right. It’s about living with a will that lines up with God’s, because God is good. Psalm 17 shows David crying out from this place. We who are living and praying our own prayers, three thousand-ish years after David, can approach the Lord with similar confidence. And we can know that because of Jesus, God is already pleased with us.
Christ’s righteousness has been credited to us (2Corinthians 5:21), which means obedience isn’t about showing off or trying to prove anything. We don’t hunger and thirst for righteousness so God will accept us. We hunger and thirst because we already are accepted. We want lives that please God because we are already loved by Him. And that love leads us to hunger for what God hungers for—righteousness.
When we regularly remember this good news and how it changes our lives and our hopes and our future, we can know that His righteousness really will satisfy us. We want it because we already know how amazing it is. Like returning to my Chipotle app, of course we want to go back.
So, how beautiful that Jesus promises that those who hunger and thirst for righteousness will be filled. And it’s not only a someday-filled promise. It’s also a right-now reality. Revelation reminds us that a day is coming when hunger will finally end, when justice will be complete, and when wholeness will be reality. But, until then, we can be satisfied with the presence of God in our lives, through His Spirit, through His people, and through His Word. In Christ, we get what He gives forever and right now.

I’m very late- but it can to me when I needed it.
❤️✝️
Amen
Amen!
❤️
❤️✝️ Amen! Lord continue to work in me and through me; Your will not mine.
I needed this today .
Today’s preaching was about Romans 6:15-19. Verse 18 talks about us being set free from sin so we are enslaved to righteousness. We seek His righteousness not because we are under the law but because now our hearts have been changed by the Holy Spirit.
So true and satisfying ❤️
Wow. My heart needed this. Isn’t it so amazing when you hear what you needed to hear. Thank you God. Amen.
Such a good reminder that we are already righteous because of the cross. Especially for those of us that are too hard on ourselves.
Many of us are not satisfied with our current state—complacency, a bit self-focused, going through the motions. It seems that our hearts aren’t tuned to God’s heart.
Oh Father, would you search our hearts and lead us to the things that truly satisfy. Would your Spirit draw near as we publicly confess that our eyes are focused less on what really matters, our hearts stray. Today, will we drink deeply of your presence, your guidance and your steadfast love.
Amen
As I’ve mentioned before, our last three pregnancies have ended in miscarriage despite our first pregnancy giving us our wonderful son. It’s been a really tough season for our family. By the grace of God, I am 8 weeks pregnant again. Praise the Lord, things looked wonderful when I went in today and we are so grateful. But we’re also cautious, we’ve had a good 8 week scan before and didn’t get to bring that baby home. Would y’all pray that this baby continues to grow and thrive and that I can find peace and rest in God’s plan for our family? I would so appreciate it, especially over these next two weeks as I fight the anxiety of our history. Thank you, sisters ❤️ praying for all of your requests as I read them.
Lauren, bless your heart! Yes, praying trust in God’s plan pushes away the anxiety that threatens your peace and joy. Very thankful for this good scan! We are here for you! ❤❤❤
Joining Cee Gee in prayer and prayerful the joy of the Lord will be your strength, when you feel anxious. He is near..❤️
Have prayed. ❤️
Lifting you and your family up in love and strength
Joining together with my sisters here for relief from anxiety, peace in your heart and mind and a growing, thriving baby for the remainder of your pregnancy.
Praying, Lauren, for you and your baby. May God’s love and presence calm your anxiety
Praying God’s peace in this pregnancy and for a healthy baby! ❤️
I’m so sorry you and and your family have experienced multiple losses. Praying for God’s hand to protect this little one and for His peace to fill your anxious heart❤️
Praying for protection over your sweet baby!
Praying for your pregnancy and baby dear Lauren, that the comfort of God’s goodness calms your anxiety.
Praying Lauren that your baby would be carried to full term healthily by the power and protection of God. Joy and peace for your mama heart. Hugs and blessings Lauren.
Thank you all so much, I am so grateful for your prayers ❤️
❤️
I really love this. As most people, it is easy to get caught up in thinking and feeling most holy when I don’t mess up, is consistent with my Bible reading, and praying often. And it is even easier to believe the lies that I am not chosen when I stumble.
Remembering that Christ’s righteousness covers mine should cause me to hunger and thirst for it more, because it is not of my own volition or will.
Praise God.
I crave you Lord and I hunger for your righteousness. Thank you for the people you’ve put in my life, your holy spirit, and your love.
❤️
I want to crave God more and be more passionate for his will in and around me. Help living for you be the ultimate goal of my life.
Happy Friday shes. Thank you SCARLET for your wonderful description of your choice Chipotle. Yummy! A bowl of Vietnamese Pho does that for me, with the tender brisket, rare beef, aromatic broth, Thai basil and fresh lime. It is the comfort food that warms my heart and soul. I sat here and I thought about hunger and thirst for a bit. The last time that really happened to me was when I fasted. It was a really hard physical challenge and a mental battle. And the time before that was when I was in great need in college years, and I couldn’t buy much food. We don’t crave for something when we have abundance of them, only when it is a scarcity. When we look around our end-time era modern societies, there is no lack of injustice, in elementary school, in workplaces, even in families where unfairness and bad treatments are the norm (thinking of the situation MARI shared what she witnessed at court today), and we hunger for righteousness. We hunger when there is a void. Righteousness is compared as “food” in this verse, it is the food that sustains our very well-being (in marriage, in parenting, in families, in business how we treat customers and clients and fellow workers). It is the food of righteousness within us that we have taken and consumed from the LORD, from the Word of Righteousness that we read/consume its content daily, to manifest into kindness, patience, godliness, righteousness, love and self-control. I really love a wise prayer that one of our shes has raised, Lord help me to stay hungry for righteousness. What an incredible prayer. I pray you all have a lovely weekend. And may we continued be filled with the LORD’s righteousness and live the abundant life He has come to give. Be blessed dear sisters.
Thai basil- one of my favorite herbs that I have in my garden! I shared my love for it with a lady while shopping for garden plants today and she excitedly put one in her buggy. ☺
Great post as always! ❤
Such beautiful words, Mercy, and truth, thank you..❤️
… and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.
This gives me such a feeling of peace. Like a soul-deep sigh.
It selfishly came to mind that I hunger and thirst for that day when God wipes away all of my tears. Father forgive me and give me the strength and focus to hunger and thirst for righteousness.
The dream, the hope, the prayer, ❤️
I have been reading along everyday but I’ve had to catch up with all the devotional and comments from this week.
It’s been a hard and anxious week for many in this community (including me) yet I noticed Hope and encouragement and passion present being offered daily too. Isn’t that what the beatitudes are meant to inspire in us? The bliss (blessings) we receive interacting with Jesus and building each other up in love. May all SHE’s experience a weekend that is blessed and filled.
❤️
Praying the heaviness be lifted from you Cindy.
❤️
When I see/think of the words hunger and thirst I first think of food and water – a daily need that has to be fulfilled to physically sustain us. We look to satisfy that, to eat and drink each day because without meeting that need we will fade away. When it comes to righteousness, do I have the same recognition that I need to fill and pursue that every day? Am I hungering to seeking God’s heart and direction for all thats right and true or am I too complacent and just rolling along?
From HRT: “Ultimate satisfaction is only found in doing what’s right every chance we get. We are called to live the right way, and we are called to challenge the culture to live right…. It’s about living with a will that lines up with God’s, because God is good….Stay hungry and thirsty for kingdom priorities.”
Our Jesus is the only one that can truly satisfy us. Sitting at His feet everyday, knowing Him, knowing His heart, seeking Him, His will, His ways, pursuing all things right and His righteousness is where we find His peace, His presence, fullness and satisfaction.
Help us Heavenly Father to hunger and thirst for You, to have a yearning and longing for you and your ways above all else. Encourage and bless this community of SRT sisters as we engage here each day. Help us to stay hungry Lord as we desire to live for you, know you more and walk in faithful obedience to you. Amen ❤️
Yes Amen!! I have to repeat, so good!!–
t’s about living with a will that lines up with God’s, because God is good….Stay hungry and thirsty for kingdom priorities.”

“Help us to stay hungry” wow and amen!❤️
Amen! ❤
Amen, Wendy ❤️
Tanner loved Chipotle. One girl would give him his order for free. Oh sweet memories.
.
I want to hunger for God’s righteousness. I want to please Him. I find myself messing up daily. That causes me grief. It is an endless cycle.
.
Just 5-10 years ago I craved God. That has waned a bit. It saddens me. I want that fire back. I don’t want a tragic incident to be the reason for my cravings. I want it to be daily.
.
Please Lord create in my that constant desire for you and your will. Help me to hear your voice. To understand what your calling is for my life.
.
This makes me thing of the Lauren Daigle song Hold Onto ME. The line that says “hold onto me when I forget I need you”. That’s where I’m at.
Amen!!
Traci, your prayers is perfect.
Please Lord create in me that constant desire for you and your will. Help me to hear your voice. To understand what your calling is for my life.
I want this to be my prayer, too. I feel how you described where you are — I used to crave God’s Word more than I do now. I thought back to what was different … I was consciously making it a priority to spend time reading my Bible – several chapters a day. I did it over my lunch hour at work. That changed when I retired. Now I have a hunger to change that. To read the physical Bible, not just the app. To spend more time hearing what God has to say to me. To pray that prayer … Please Lord create in me that constant desire for you and your will. Help me to hear your voice. To understand what your calling is for my life.
May i join you Teresa in your praying tne prayer.. Amen.❤️
I love your truthful reflection “I don’t want a tragic incident to be the reason for my cravings”. Thank you Traci for sharing your heart.
Thank you for sharing that sweet memory, Traci. ❤
Amen to your prayer! ❤
Amen, Traci. Sending hugs.❤️
Am I hungry and thirsty or am I complacent? Hmmm…
May I hunger and thirst for God’s righteousness – even more than Chipotle! But yes, in all seriousness…more hunger, more thirst for more of Jesus
Forever and right now! Yes HE does! We can trust our JESUS! Fills the that empty spot we sometimes feel. His are the footprints in the sand. …”AND it’s not a someday-filled promise. Its’ also a right-now reality.” WE can trust our Jesus to come through for us, even we its not how we had anticipated or expected. I keep in mind “my daddy knows best” Happy Friday sweet She’s! My favorite day of the week! But you know that already (haha). Can’t wait to get to work as I missed my little munchkins yesterday. Speaking of which it went very well! God’s favor was on me! I did however, started to get a little anxious as other hearings went first and took a very long time and I started to feel those yucky feelings in my tummy. After the short break, the bailiff said to me, (he must of noticed) “Your’re getting a little tired?” But thankfully after that short break, We were called to the front. Divorce was granted by the Judge! Sigh….. THANK YOU all so much for praying over me! I know I was strengthened by your prayers! I was covered! ONE more thing, I heard/witnessed some disturbing hearings involving children. My heart ached for those little ones. Please pray these little ones’ parent’s/adults can get the help they need to take care of them.
Oh Mari V I am so grateful to our Jesus for being with you these long years and granting you the end result you needed. He hears our prayers! ❤️
Thank you for sharing your results and your experience yesterday too.
.
Children suffer so much at the hands of so many adults. I am sorry you heard some yukky stuff. A reminder for us to pray for others that suffer in so many ways.
❤️❤️❤️
Halelu-JAH! That chapter is closed..you endured…YOU BLOSSOMED. You took hold in the unknown, did what you needed to do even though it was scary!! And you and the kids not only made it, thrived..but LOVE Jesus even more for going through it!! That’s what we have to remember, the trials are for our purposes, if we choose to keep looking to Him!! You are such a great example and testimony! Your kids love and honor you, it’s so beautiful how it drew you closer!! And even though it’s not perfect, living with your mom is surely a blessing.
AND..that you have this wonderful job you LOVE when I remember those years we were praying for just something better to come along—and here you are!! Going to work on your favorite day and loving your munchkins (even on the long, crazy days)!
Keep sharing your testimony–that too, that God is going to use you and the other lady to start a group to point others in the right direction!! Whoop whoop!
And for the She’s going through the trial right now–when you share with us, and let us pray for you, we are in your journey with you! And it’s so amazing to be a part of it! WE usually don’t share until it’s over and we see what God DOES!! BUT God, he wants us to share with each other during…SO like this example, and so many She’s, we see God working through it! Step by step.
Such great news Mari! God is good!❤️
Grateful this is over for you.
Congrats Mari. Phew. Praying strength over you and your children, for your new chapter with abundant peace and joy.
Praise the Lord Mari! What a relief to have that behind you. May peace, confidence, strength, joy and hope be yours as you move forward.
Thankful that is all behind you and praying peace for your heart (and your kids) as you move forward. What a brave lady you are, Mari! ❤
Mari, what wonderful news!
Thank you Lord God, for walking through this journey with Mari, Thank you that she never lost sight of you, thank you that she may breathe now and that life for her will look a little different, and if i know Mari, her life will be lived even more for her Jesus.
All praise to you Lord God.
Thank you Lord, thank you,❤️
Precious Mari, praise God that our many prayers have been answered and this ordeal is finally over! God brought you through this “fire” and you are now stronger because of it! Love you, sweet sister!
Praise God!!
❤️❤️❤️
HUNGER and THIRST: how quick we are to define and satisfy our cravings in regard to our physical wants. Am I as quick to act on my spiritual cravings? Do I have an “order again” option under my name as Scarlet mentioned?
✨
Love, hugs, and prayers! ❤
“spiritual cravings” i love this!
❤
❤️
Desiring God above all else.
Desiring God’s ways and seeking His kingdom above else.
Psalm 37: 4 “Delight yourself in the Lord; And He will give you the desires of your heart.”
G-d will give you the right appetite. If you feed a diet of doughnuts,sweets, soda, and fast food; they will desire those foods. However, if you give them real fresh fruits and veggies they will crave that
I appreciate and thank you all for your comments, your encouragement, and your challenges to all of us sisters. Some of us comment occasionally but to those that are here everyday with encouragement and prayers, you are God’s hand and feet, thank you ❤️
✝️ ❤️
Yes! Amen! ❤️
“to those that are here everyday with encouragement and prayers, you are God’s hand and feet, thank you ❤️”
.
AMEN!!
❤️
❤❤❤
To hunger and thirst for righteousness, this has been my prayer in this new year.
.
As Scarlet states, “When we regularly remember this good news and how it changes our lives and our hopes and our future, we can know that His righteousness really will satisfy us. We want it because we already know how amazing it is.”
.
I want to wake up every morning yearning to be in God’s word, to learn more of Him, what He loves, what He hates, how He moves.
.
I want to honestly be able to say as the Psalmist does in Psalm 42:1, “As the deer pants for the water brooks, So pants my soul for You, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.”

As I was reading in Luke 18:1, there was something that caught my attention that I think I’ve just skimmed over other times – the reason Jesus was telling this parable to the disciples is so that they would always pray and not give up. In other words, don’t come to the door, knock, wait 2 seconds and then run away.
.
I found this very helpful at Enduring Word…”Sometimes it does seem to us that God is reluctant to answer our prayers. Yet the delays in prayer are not needed to change God, but to change us. Persistence in prayer brings a transforming element into our lives, building into us the character of God Himself. It is a way that God builds into us a heart that cares about things the same way He does. “Too many prayers are like boy’s runaway knocks, given, and then the giver is away before the door can be opened.” (Spurgeon)
.
The delays aren’t to change God, but to change us. It teaches us patience, endurance, persistence and to trust the God who is and was and is to come.”

@Cee Gee, @Adrienne, @Teresa – thank you for your prayers and words yesterday. ❤️

Praying for all your requests from yesterday and today.
Have a blessed Friday sweet She’s!❤️
❤️
I love that. The delays are for us..teaching us patience, endurance, persistence and to trust the God who IS and was and is to come!
Amen ❤️
hugs friend.❤️

Do we hunger and thirst for righteousness?
I think we have given up that elusive unicorn. We that our older have seen the world get worse and worse. Back in the nineties we could sing “we are the world” with gusto, save the children, and even the dying elephants across the world in Africa. Today we have more means and ease than ever..yet we are a mess of a people.
I am glad that I follow Klove news, and CBN, and social media people that give us the feel good stories. The “there is still good in the world” events. They fill our heart with some positives. They show us that there is still good.
I love the song by Mathew West that explains wonderfully when we ask WHY isn’t God doing something against all the evil in the world. Why are people starving? Why are little children suffering? Why can’t those that really need righteousness find help? The song says rightfully- He did do something, He created me!
Well, I don’t know about you
But I’m sick and tired of life with no desire
I don’t want a flame, I want a fire
I wanna be the one who stands up and says
I’m gonna do something
If not us, then who
If not me and you
Right now
It’s time for us to do something
Yes, it is, c’mon
If not now, then when
Will we see an end
To all this pain
It’s not enough to do nothing
It’s time for us to do something
We are the salt of the earth
We are a city on a hill
We’re never gonna change the world
By standing still
No we won’t stand still
No we won’t stand still
No we won’t stand still
If not us, then who
If not me and you
Right now
It’s time for us to do something
If not now, then when
Will we see an end
To all this pain
It’s not enough to do nothing
It’s time for us to do something (na-na, na)
We, Christ-followers, are meant to be the ones hungering and thirsting to help, aid, and be the hands and feet. The salt of the earth. The ones to give not only water to the thirsty, but living water.
The ones who make mistakes, and have fallen- to help pick them up again. Those that have been unfairly bullied, and trapped, beaten up, physically and emotionally.
Lord, help us to continue to help those in need. To not judge by our own standards, but to use discernment, and let you show us where to GO, and love on those in need. Help us to get out of our comfort zones to volunteer and to seek out ways to help and serve…for your kingdom. Your way. We love you so we love others. Keep us humble and to see those without the Spirit don’t know what they don’t know. But we do, so we are told to do better. To live for you, meaning to live for righteousness in YOUR eyes. Open our eyes Jesus to see, open our ears to hear what you are showing us. I want to live daily for you Lord!
Seek first the kingdom, and all will be added. We will be filled!! Yes, indeed. It fills us. It gives us joy when people see Jesus in us!
So encouraging Rhonda. I agree! We need to be the hands and feet! And you are so amazing at leading the way for us!
Thank you friend! We have so many opportunities! I love that God reveals SO much when we ask and seek him daily.
Im glad I started posting here when I started stepping out! That way it is evident it was Holy Spirit power not me! lol
Amen!
Powerful share, and the song lyrics are so good. Thank you Rhonda for the strong nudge for us to really get up and out of our sweet cozy corner and solve a need.
Amen, Rhonda, so very true, to be His hands and feet. ❤️
Agreeing! ❤
Got Questions summation of this beatitude:
“Deeply joyful and spiritually whole are those who actively seek right relationship with God and, in so doing, discover that He alone can completely save and satisfy their souls.”
.
HRT, Bob Bunn:
“Jesus said that [seeking their own benefit] would never produce true contentment. Rather, ultimate satisfaction is only found in doing what’s right every chance we get. We are called to live the right way, and we are called to challenge the culture to live right. It’s not an easy task, but it brings glory to Jesus and demonstrates His love to those in need.”
.
“Take time today to examine the hungers and thirsts in your life. Evaluate what drives your dreams and defines your goals. Determine if you’re genuinely hungering and thirsting for righteousness more than anything else.” HRT
.
Stay hungry and thirsty for kingdom priorities. Jesus said that’s the only way to experience true satisfaction.” HRT

CRISSY HUNTER ❤️ echoing DARBY BYRD’s prayer for you. I too am so sorry that you deal with this everyday, praying for God’s peace in this, that you can let go of the anger.
TRACI GENDRON ❤️ praying for Joan. I have one relative in mid 80’s that recovered from a bad break last year, and one late 80’s that is currently recovering from 2 breaks in same leg. It’s a slow process, praying for management of pain and joining her prayer for God’s will.

TAMI ❤️ I am so sorry your friend is acting like this. I try to not do business with friends to keep friendships in place – so that friendships aren’t damaged if something goes sideways in a business situation. Maybe your friend will figure that out, that it was smart to keep things separate.

Prayer request – some of you may remember my prayer request last year for June, 94 now, in a skilled nursing facility. I printed and laminated your prayers for her and she keeps them on her nightstand to read daily, they have been such an encouragement to her. She is more frail each time I see her, only letting them get her out of bed occasionally and not eating much. Praying for her to have the strength and for God’s will that she is with us a while longer. She hasn’t seen her daughter in 10 years – release expected mid summer. Her daughter has turned to the Lord while away, more than a year ago. Praying she is released when expected and is able to see and spend time with her mother. Also praying for housing and financial provision for daughter as her mother no longer has a home for her to stay in.

Thank you for sharing that Searching. ❤️
.
I will be praying for your request.
I remember June! I’m praying she gets to see her daughter. What a good friend you are to her Searching! And thank you for the insight!
Praying over these requests and for June and her daughter. For provision and time!
Praying for time.
Praying for June and her daughter – for time for them. For you as you minister to them.
What a wonderful idea to print and laminate prayers for June.
Praying for June and her daughter’s situation. May the Lord open doors of provision and support, and more strength for June.
Searching, praying for June and her prayer to see her daughter and spend precious time together..Lord in your mercy, hear our prayer.
Also praying there will be somewhere close for the daughter to stay so she is near her mama and that there will be funds available, in the interim, Lord, in your mercy and nd grace, hear our prayers..
Amen.
Hugs and love to you Searching..❤️
Praying in agreement! ❤

The heading so reminded me of the early days of seriously discovering the beauty of a relationship with God.
The church I attended had these evenings called ‘hungry for God’. I dropped everything to attend those evenings. I was so hungry for God, I wanted to stay forever. I even asked why they did not do that every evening.
I was so very hungry in those early days. I wanted to get to know this God who had been so very gracious to me, who had filled my heart with a Hope I could never have believed existed, who had given me a peace I could not understand, who had shown me mercy when I could not be merciful/kind to myself, who showed me the beauty around me, when I believed I could not see it anymore..
.
I was hungry for God..
.
I think, though I profess to walking with God, and I do, I feel that hunger of the early days is not always, sadly, evident in my day to day.
The rememberance of that time actually is spurring me on to renew my ‘vows’ with God.. I am not that woman of 18/20 years ago, but my heart is still for God, I just need to be on fire for Him again…
.
So, today, with my hand on heart, I begin again, that journey of hunger and thirsting for the righteousness of God, knowing, because I have seen it, I will be filled in everyway..
He filled me before, He will do it again, for he is faithful and true to His promises..
.
He is good.
.
He is faithful.
.
He cares.
.
He forever loves.
.
He remembers, as I do.
.
He sees me.
.
He holds me.
.
He sent me a helper.
.
He forgives.
.
.
BUT GOD.
.
AMEN.
.
.
Happy Friday, my dears, covered in love, hugs and prayers ❤️
Amen! I too am on the journey to rediscover my hunger and thirst for the Lord. I was so on fire for Him 15 years ago, but I let life and the enemy drive a wedge. He says to seek Him and we will find Him! Thank you Jesus
yes tina! I would literally feel a burning for God. I crave that, I miss that. but maybe we’re not so hungry anymore bc he’s been filling us up for so many years. I think there is something to a content belly. I have been squirmy bc it has been relatively quiet around here. But the psalm said I have calmed and quieted my spirit. I too am trying to figure out how to move from a rested state, what that looks like. it’s so easy to move when you’re starving, or on fire.
Love this testimony, love you.❤️
To hunger and thirst for righteousness, this is something I have been praying for, for awhile now.
Thank you for your words. Happy Friday my sweet friend! ❤️
Thank you for that beautiful testimony. Amen
❤️
Your words brought tears to my eyes, Tina.
“So, today, with my hand on heart, I begin again, that journey of hunger and thirsting for the righteousness of God, knowing, because I have seen it, I will be filled in everyway..
He filled me before, He will do it again, for he is faithful and true to His promises.”
Thank you for this reminder that we can always begin anew
❤️ Encouraged and blessed by your words. Thank you
Tina I too want to have the longing and crave God like I did at one time. Please Lord Give Tina and I back a craving for YOU.
Yes Tina!!!! Me too!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
❤️
❤
feast on God’s word
Amen, Sandy.❤️
