Just a Thought
I just had this thought and feel like sharing it online.
Having God in our lives may not mean that all our natural "hunger" (e.g. the yearning for a life partner, desire and need to excel at what we do etc) are taken away. But allowing God to take charge of our lives and fill that "hunger" does help, because then you get reserve energy that either fulfil that hunger, or if God in His wisdom chooses not to fill it up immediately or with what you want, allow you to be strong while you keep the hunger at bay for the right time or right food to fill it up.
Some people fear accepting Christ because they are afraid of losing control over their own lives. The fear may be conscious or so deeply embedded within their subconscious that they are unaware of it. There is no easy or one answer to address this. But I think the statement is ironical because man will ultimately find himself at a position where he has run out of options, no matter how much control he thought he had in the beginning. Isn't it actually a way to gain some form of control if you run to the inexhaustible Person who created the universe?
