Ruth - Chapter 3: Is Jesus Still Relevant?
Chapter 3: So far, I find it very east to reflect on the topics of this book. As I mentioned in an earlier post, I just read a book called “Sacred Thirst.” This chapter reminded me of that book. I now think of my yearning for God now as my “Sacred Thirst.” On page 33 Kelly states, “Only in God will man find the truth and happiness he NEVER stops yearning for.” This statement was consoling for me. With the Lord’s help I try to live the Christian life. I am trying to grow in my faith, in my prayer life, in service, etc…..but in some ways it seems like the better I think I am doing the stronger the “Sacred Thirst.” Matthew’s statement said to me that WE DO FIND truth and happiness in Christ but we NEVER STOP YEARNING. We find yet still yearn…..always that “Sacred Thirst” which has been implanted deep within.
