The Well Off Hunger
We all eagerly desire for our soul to be satisfied. Being a church leader does not reduce this desire. Nor are you exempt from using the created order to fill your soul.
“Blessed are you who are hungry now, for you shall be satisfied.
Luke 6:21
Hungry = to seek with eager desire.
What do you hunger for?
What do you eagerly desire?
What do you, shall we say, lust for?
Whatever the object of our hunger, this is what we think will satisfy our soul.

Your title in a church does not mean a relationship with Jesus comes automatic. Nor does it exempt you from desiring the created order to fill your soul.
We all, including church leaders, want our soul to be satisfied. And we all attempt to satisfy our soul with the created order.
Instead of the Creator.
Jesus wants a Hear & Follow relationship with you.
Why?
So he can satisfy our soul with the Zoe Life only he can give.
Reducing the hunger for the created order.
And increasing the hunger for Jesus alone to fill our soul.
The well of do not satisfy themselves. They find their soul level satisfaction in the Life only Jesus can give.
