Greed
He told the people, “Be careful to guard yourselves from every kind of greed. Life is not about having a lot of material possessions.” Luke 12:15 Pride, fear, and rejection are only a few teachers that will train you to be greedy with your food. It was such a moment of freedom when I had to admit to God that I was a greedy person. For years I had no control over anything in my life, except what I could fit on my plate, and the toys I claimed as mine. The many years as an adult I've come to understand that it wasn’t the food, it was my orphan heart in need of love that pushed me into the false love of food. Food or any false comfort will never fill you with love. Need can be filled, but greed is a deep, empty pit that only the Fathers love is deep enough to teach the bottom. Maybe your eating is not about need, maybe it’s about greed. Let your need lead you to the arms of the Father, not to food.

We are perfect!!!
One of the most challenging journeys we will ever have to take, is the one to who we really are. Our likes and dislikes may have been based on what our parents thought, and the influence of our peers. But never know what we really like. It takes time to understand and be O.K. with who we are. I turned 50 years old this year and it feels like I'm just settling into who I really am. It has been a life chaining journey filled with many ups and downs, but it has all been worth it. We must take time and allow Father God to teach us who He made us to be, then allow ourselves to fall in love with THAT person. The only way to live our best life, is to find out who we are, then live OUR best live. |
