How Long can we starve?
Since I've become Gluten intolerant i have had less of the breads and grains but i still am able to enjoy the Indian and Thai cuisine. But for a long time , while on my diet, I felt like i was starving, i wondered why? I had been eating foods, alot of rice, vegetables and meats, but no breads, no cake, no deserts really those are all the bad things for our bodies right?
I was doing some research on bread, and have come to know that bread is the staple of life in the world, many countries have their own unique version of bread , in most 1st and 2nd world countries we have pre-made and packaged breads, but in some second and most 3rd world countries bread is made everyday. It is fresh and is always placed on the table. it is always there. They would starve with out bread.
AHA! was the thought process, i had been starving of the most instinctual staple of humanity BREAD!
but the bigger meaning entered into my mind. Lately I had been starving for more important bread, ...
I've been starving for the peace that the Gospel of Christ brings. There are those out there with many varying beliefs, but i know of none that promises the same quality and peace that the Gospel of our savior Jesus Christ brings into our souls. I also know that he has restored his church , through his power, and His authority for US! He loves US!
He suffered in the Garden of Gethsemane for YOU, and died on the cross for YOU, and rose again on the third day, so WE might live again.
STOP RIGHT NOW AND RE READ THAT SENTENCE ABOVE!
OK now you can continue.
I had been not been doing the things that keep me completely nourished . I had not done enough of the good things to become malnourished in the essential vitamins and minerals of the spirit. I Had been eating metaphysical snickers and donuts instead of my veggies and meats. I'll be honest not forgiving your friends and not reading your scriptures as dilligently can make you malnourished
How many of you have felt that? how many of you have felt wasted, and spent? How many of you claim you Don't know why?
I had a friend tell me so very wisely , not knowingly of course, the best thing i could hear.
He said, usually when i feel blue or down its because i haven't repented of something, be it yelling at a friend , or something more serious. the moment he said this i knew it was right.
WE need to go to the lord to be forgiven, so WE can move forward with the joy and Light he meant for us to have!
I know he loves us, more than we will ever comprehend, i mean he paid for us, HE BOUGHT OUR FREEDOM, that's a lot of freaking love y'all! Come unto him and be made whole!
