I've been thinking about eating lately. You see, I can probably talk to you about every type of eating plan there is. For years I read, studied, and tried many styles of eating, searching for that illusion: the perfect body.
In the process, I lost my ability to enjoy food. And, I don't think the Father meant for that to happen.
So I began to ask God to guide my eating. And to bring back my enjoyment of food. And, slowly, this is happening.
I think the same thing can happen in our spiritual lives, if we're not careful. Especially for those perfectionists like me. I pushed so hard to be perfectly holy, acceptable and pleasing to God, that the joy died out. Because, after all, the joy comes from knowing that I don't have to be perfect at all. Because Jesus is. And, through acceptance of his life, so am I.
I am beginning to enjoy God deeply. To taste and see that He is good. And, because He is, so am I.
Now that's a feast I don't want to miss.
