knocking
Friend, I hear you knocking on my door
"Give me a loaf! I'm hungry!"The Shepherd's sent me to feed the sheep
but today I'm hungry, so hungryFriend, I hope you know I'd come if I could
but I hear my Lord, my Friend, knockingThe Good Shepherd is knocking on my door
I'm His sheep so I know His voiceHe's shown me I'm famished
He's calling me to eat of HimHow can I feed others
If I'm not feeding myself?He's knocked me off my high horse
taken me down to my knees once moreAnytime I feed from my own supply
I come up empty and hungryI hear you knocking on my door
but I must answer to Him firstI hope you'll be patient with me
I'll come answer the door to youOnce I eat of Him, the living Bread,
then I'll open the door to youI've gone into my closet
Shut the door to feast on HimI'm knocking at His door
"Give me a loaf! I'm hungry, so hungry!"As the Bread of Life feeds and fills me
I can give the living Bread to youBut honestly, I hope and pray you'll go Him
For He alone has the words of Life, not meHis heavenly supplies never run out
My supply of bread comes from Him aloneI have nothing to set before you
Except that which comes from Jesus ChristGo to Him if you're hungry
Knock and it will be opened to youThat's where I'm going now
Knocking and trusting it will be opened to meJohn 6:33 "For the bread of God is he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.” 34 They said to him, “Sir, give us this bread always.” 35 Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst...44 No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him. And I will raise him up on the last day. 45 It is written in the Prophets, ‘And they will all be taught by God.’ Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me— 46 not that anyone has seen the Father except he who is from God; he has seen the Father. 47 Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes has eternal life. 48 I am the bread of life. 49 Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. 50 This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that one may eat of it and not die. 51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. And the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.”

It is an enigma. He is the Bread come down from heaven. He is the Bread that satisfies. But we never get so we don't want more of Him...I know I am hungry for Him every day.
Thats what I need. Knock knock on Lord's door, and ask him for a job!! I am desperate!
What we are hungry for is a great clue to how we are doing spiritually.
Thats where i am today too, dear Karen. Just overwelmed and need Him alone right now to minister to me before i can minister to others. Praying for you, sis. ((Hugs))
@quest4god@revelife - Amen. May He keep us hungry for Him, rather than foolishly seeking out the corn husks. He alone satisfies completely and ∞ for our ∞ joy.
@Mal_P - Keep seeking Him & His Kingdom; He has promised the rest will be added. Matthew 6:24-33. (hugs) & prayers.
@ANVRSADDAY - Amen, Frank. Exactly.
@YouTOme - Hear ya, sis. It's been a tough week, but He has been faithful...What else could He be?
∞ Love & hugs, dearie deer.
