How we all need a second chance. How we all need Jesus to believe in us because we don't believe in ourselves. I don t know about you, but I have trouble going a whole day without food. I ve done so on occasion, but it s very difficult. Going a whole day without food is unthinkable for some of us, yet many of us go without spiritual food for much longer than one day.
Some people try to go without spiritual food for weeks on end, even years.
Of course, they soon feel empty, listless, and weak. By spiritual food, I mean anything that fulfills us spiritually, or heals us emotionally, or fuels us psychologically, or otherwise keeps us alive to God and to other people and to the creation around us. For instance, if you receive a personal affirmation from someone, or hear the words I love you that s spiritual food. Or receive a hug or a kiss. If you ve been needing a hug for a while and you finally get one, it can make your day.
