Though David hides in the wilderness, he doesn't stay there physically or spiritually. When we seek God with our whole hearts and souls, he promises to reveal himself to us." -Hungry for God”

“Hunger Howls
You will always feel hungry if you keep starving yourself to feed others
The vacant call from your belly is a signal from your soul
The calls turn into howls
To realise your own worth
To value the ribbons of love that are angelically sewn
So deeply into every part of you
You are a tapestry of fine and rare art
With beauty in your bones
Find yourself in you
Feed yourself with love”
