It is hard at times to eat the right
foods for our bodies when the wrong foods can taste so
delicious. I am just glad that when it comes to food for the
soul, the choices are a little easier to make. Imagine, for
instance, that you had two types of food before you. The
first one is great for you. It makes your heart healthier,
your mind clearer, and your body more energetic. It makes
you feel fantastic both inside and out. It also tastes
delicious. You could eat it for a million years and never
get tired of it. It just takes a bit of effort and a few
minutes to cook each day. The second food is terrible for
you. It is hard on your heart and destroys your health. It
depresses your mind and steals your body’s vitality. It
makes you feel miserable both inside and out. It also tastes
terrible. You can eat it right away, though. It is instant
and takes no effort to make. Which one would you choose?
Sadly, more people than you would
think make the second choice. The second choice is acting
from fear. It is choosing to feed the soul hatred, violence,
negativeness, misery, pain, meanness, and loneliness. It is
easy to do even though it hurts you every time you do it. It
slowly poisons your life and the lives of those around you
if they let it. The first choice, however, is choosing love.
It is feeding the soul joy, peace, positiveness, happiness,
delight, goodness, and oneness with God. It takes a bit of
effort, but it brings a lot of Heaven to Earth. It enriches
your life and the lives of everyone you share it with.
What you eat is up to you. Choose your
foods wisely then. God wants you to eat well, not just with
your stomach, but also with your heart, soul, mind, and
life. Lay out a table full of all the love, joy, light,
goodness, and oneness with God that you possibly can. Then
pull up a chair and invite everyone to the feast. |
