S ~ And this world is fading away, along with everything that people crave. But anyone who does what pleases God will live forever. 1 John 2:17
O ~ This world, and the things of it, are indeed passing away. 'Anyone' means the invitation is open to 'everyone' - but the individual must respond. Any 'one'. And what pleases God is to believe in Jesus.
A ~ I don't think 'crave' has ever had a positive connotation. The people craved meat in the wilderness. People give in to their cravings. Addictions bring cravings. Even in pregnancy, cravings are a powerful force. There is a difference between craving and desire. Cravings are given in to, while desires can be pursued.
P ~ Lord, may my desire be to follow You, to please You, and to grow in my relationship with You. Please help me to 'put to death through starvation' worldly cravings, and instead may I delight myself in You, and allow You to fulfill the desires of my heart.
