"But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever‑increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit. "
2 Corinthians 3:15-18
Jesus said, "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness for they will be filled.":
I pose a question to you:
If you were on the way to a banquet would you first stop at a fast food restaurant and gorge on junk food, when the greatest pleasures are awaiting?
I see a connection between the scripture in 2 Cor. 3 , turning to God, hungry and thirsty, as the veil begins to be parted by the Lord, our Father and Bridegroom, who so desires to impart revelation and relationship to us. He does not desire us to casually "snack" on tidbits from Him, no, He desires that we move from glory to glory, fueled by that hunger, going deeper and deeper, not skimming around on the surface, not even in the same place in Him that we were in yesterday.
Are you hungry beloved? There is a banquets that has been set for you ! Skip that "junk food" that surrounds us in the world and dive in.

"Blessed are the hungry, blessed are the thirsty
You said it, I believe it; I believe it, I believe it
Hunger is the escort into the deeper things of You
Deep is calling out to deep is calling out to deep
Yesterday’s depth is feeling really shallow
I’ve gotta go deeper, deeper, deeper still
And all Your waves and all Your billows crash over me
Pulling me deep, deep, deeper
From glory to glory, from strength to strength
From depth to depth, I want to fellowship with You"
You’re not so far away, it’s not too mysterious
You’re living on the inside of me, Your Spirit on the inside of me
Spring up, O well; spring up, O well; spring up, O well, within me
- lyrics from Misty Edwards, Soul Cry
