Today’s devotion made KD Lang’s old song come to mind.

There must be a desire, a craving on our behalf, to add the attributes mentioned to our Faith.

Peter instructs us to add to our faith, virtue.
Then, knowledge, self-control, perseverance, godliness, kindness, and charity/love.

It’s not osmosis.

It’s the result of effort. The instruction is to add these things.

It’s up to us to pursue these attributes. They come to us with and after spiritual growth.

You cannot buy them with money. They are bought only with time, effort, pursuit and a craving which does not get satisfied with the status quo.

Do you desire them?

Are you seeking them?

Put feet to any desire you possess and you have pursuit. Pursuit is what you do when you really want something.

We have possibly never really been hungry.
With the abundance of food at our fingertips, it’s difficult to be hungry.

If your desire is such, It’s not difficult to be spiritually hungry.

Pursue it.
Constantly.
