Thursday Thirteen--Hunger for the Spirit

People everywhere today hunger for the Spirit of the Lord, but they often don’t recognize their longing for what it is. How do I know that? Look at the state of the human spirit. Thirteen signs I see, and lots of each one:

1. Anger

2. Loneliness

3. Isolation

4. Fear

5. Emptiness

6. Violence

7. Perverse sex

8. Addiction to pornography

9. Depression

10. Rudeness and personal rejection in the “big put-down”

11. Preying on the vulnerable

12. Blaming others for wrong behavior and choices (when
caught)

13. Drug use

The answer to this complex problem is simple: cry out to God; ask for his forgiveness and help. Turn to him and follow him.

This is my Thursday Thirteen list. I am subscribed to the "Mr. Linky" auto link thing, but I haven't figured out how to get it to show up on my entries yet! Therefore, if you read this and want your own list linked, please leave a comment so that it will link to you. If you want to look at others, look through comments here, and/or look at this link:

Brave of you to write this ~ way to go. I see myself in there even tho I'm already saved. My Th13 list is 13 things about which I'm happy ... sort of a "count your blessings" list.

That is a wonderful list! I cry out to another deity, but you are so right it counts for everyone.
Thanks for visiting my TT.
