Trouble Christ until He fills you...

"There is as much in our Lord's pantry as will satisfy all his children, and as much wine in his cellar as will quench all their thirst. Hunger on; for there is meat in hunger for Christ: go never from him, but trouble him (who yet is pleased with the importunity* of hungry souls) with a dishful of hungry desires, till he fill you; and if he delay yet come not ye away, albeit ye should fall faint at his feet." -Samuel Rutherford The Loveliness of Christ
