A Mother's Heart

What Do People Crave?

People are emotional creatures.  I believe the Lord created us exactly like that for a reason.  He gave us hearts to feel love, hate, joy, friendship, compassion, etc.  We crave those emotions.  We crave something REAL! 

Why are we drawn to the dramatic story, the tragedy, the underdog who overcomes adversity?  We crave the raw emotion we find there. 

I think that as Americans we are more likely to hide our feelings away than express them.  We live in a very isolated world, filled with words like freedom, individuality, and human rights.  We aren't supposed to want or need other people. 

God wants to fill that need for emotion, for realness.  Am I real with God?  Am I real with others?  I don't think so.

I hope to be able to be more real.
