A Hunger and Thirst For Righteousness

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness.....What does it truly mean to experience this kind of longing for the good things of God? How can we know when we have the kind of hunger that says yes, this is all I need for life and Godliness. And on the other hand if we are not in great pursuit of God, then what is it that captivates our hearts, grabs our attention, brings excitement and really draws us so far from him that we don't seem to realize it until we've been given a wake up call. Its called having a sin problem that can take on many forms of enslavement disguised to look good and bring fulfillment. Only God himself that quench our hunger and thirst in a way only He can.
