"Be the Centre" Here are a couple lines from the song: "Jesus, be my Vision Be my Path, be my Guide Jesus Be the Fire in my heart Be the Wind in these sails Be the Reason that I live Jesus, Jesus" I liked the point you make at the end about Paul, after all he had experienced, he was still hungry. I know I have prayed or thought before that if only God did this one thing for me, things would just be so much better or I would become a stronger believer. Usually nothing happened, probably because it was not what God wanted and He already knew it would not be helpful. God does know what's best for us, the hard part is just trying to understand it all. Then again, maybe it is not meant to be understood, but so we would just believe and let God be the centered. A song comes to mind. “Be the Centre” Here are a couple lines from the song:

I wonder how much of our hunger and thirst is fueled by our guilt from falling short? Yes, interesting observation about Paul.
