My own personal opinion on soul craving is a hidden attempt to hide that Christ's love will fill our void. Why mask what a person is craving by asking what is a person searching for and not giving them an answer which leaves many people wondering what is it they are craving! The belief that if we ask enough people what they crave they will look internal into their deepest soul to figure out what is it they are craving? I am of the personal belief to not beat around the bush and play the guessing game but if we know what the answer is to fill the void which is only filled by Christ love through the Holy Spirit. To ask a question and not give the answer as to what is Christ love is confusing to most people which often makes them look inward which is what new age tends to teach. This is what I know: 1. God loves me as he has said in: John 1:12 But to all who believe him and accept him, he gave the right to become children of God. 2. God can meet all my needs all the time John 14: 16 And I will ask the father to give me another Advocate, who will never leave you. He is the Holy Spirit, who leads into all truth. 3. Give God my concerns So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time he will lift you up to honor. Give all worries and cares to God, for he cares about you. 1 Peter 5:6-7 4. Joy in a relationship with Christ You will show me the way of life, granting me the joy of your presence and pleasures of living with you forever. I understand the craving philosophy is to have a person search the soul to define what they are craving but if the crave philosophy does not give them the answer what is the point? From my own personal experience I know God loves me and cares for me and I can give him my concerns and when I follow him he will give me he Holy Spirit to free me of my past sins and give me joy. THAT is what the answer is not the cravings..... These are my own personal views and if they offend someone so be it. God Bless. @Commentators & Soul Craving philosophy.

Like Jaci Valesquez sings, most times I feel like Im soaring in the wind. Most times I wonder why on earth Im here. There must be a purpose God intended me to fulfill and I crave to know it. Once I discover it, I'll find meaning joy and satisfaction in my life again. I crave to have meaning and purpose in my life. Like Jaci Valesquez sings, most times I feel like Im soaring in the wind.

Its been a year when he shut his connection from me without any explanation at all. I know I've made mistakes but I know its not reasonable enough for him to turn his back on me. I am missing him but the more I bug him, the more he would say he's just busy, reasons that never satisfy me. I dont know what to do now, but I hope something wonderful would come our way soon thru Jesus! I crave for my husband’s attention and love.
