I recently realized that everyone in this world is craving for something in many moments of their day. Some are craving for love, acceptance, grow, food, sweets etc.
So I have been meditating around this issue of cravings and why do we have this within us ?
Why we were created in such a way that whatever we have is never enough, and our heart, body and soul is longing for something else.
Here is what I thought around these lines: we were created in the image of God, so does that mean that He has cravings sometimes?
I do not recall reading something like this in the Scripture. So before the sin appear in the world, still it seems the human race had cravings, this is why perhaps Eve took the wrong decision in regards of the apple. She liked the apple, she thought it was good to be eaten and that will have additional benefit and will open their minds, so she took it.
My questions is then...why the pure and perfect creation had this flaw?
And how can we overcome it in the future?
I will need to do more reading around this topic, hence for now I want to leave you all with the thought that God is enough for all our cravings, and we should turn to Him, whenever we feel longing for something else.
Indeed He is the one who should and can fulfill us in everything, we just need to accept that, and remember that He is the power in weakness.
