We aren’t supposed to live on yesterdays encounters or last years revelations like memories of a good party (this is what Hunger is in Matthew 5:6 many aren’t even hungry!) the treasure available in Him is just not found. Its unlikely to be found until we say internally I must have that field that pearl of great price. We interact with a person in whom is a Kingdom that has no end it’s as John says we fellowship with the Father and with His Son and with one another. As we draw closer (imperative in love - as Jesus said
I must preach to the other villages) we understand that fire needs fuel and it’s unusually in Hunger (I
must have Him - we will be more than satisfied). This isn’t religion this is relationship! Religion will always feed itself like an addiction but relationship satisfies, grows and develops in our case eternally it is in no way transient!)
Peter reveals that one day with the Lord is like a 1,000 years but for us one of our days without Him (because we span both realms) is like losing His presence for an indeterminable time, the sense of loss is such a loss we ask as David did to “take not your Holy Spirit from me” In reality Jesus says quite truthfully I “will never leave you nor forsake you”
Christian believers who have experienced an NDE (near death experience), discover that its like a golden jigsaw and most of the missing pieces are given at the time but because the sheer profound depth of them it takes months and year to put each piece in its place but the the beauty of it is that the end result a more complete picture is now much more clearly visible in fact one might say infinitely more visible and strangely available..
Jesus put a towel over His arm and washed feet even to the man (Judas Iscariot) He knew would betray Him (at that point look at what He says about everything had been given to Him by the Father and He gave everything He understands the unlimited resources of God the immutability of Father, He is gloriously secure and has an eternal and greater understanding of what IS)
