This scripture is profound for me because even though eating is lawful, I have allowed myself to be brought under the power of food. I have allowed myself to try to fill and empty soul with food when the only One that can fill an empty soul is Jesus Christ.
With God's help, I have started to make new choices...It is not about what I eat. It is about why I am eating. I no longer wish to eat for any reason other than true hunger. If I am not hungry I will not eat. If my soul is hungry I will choose to feast on Jesus Christ.
John 6:53-58 - 53 Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. 54 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. 55 For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. 56 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him. 57 Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me. 58 This is the bread that came down from heaven. Your forefathers ate manna and died, but he who feeds on this bread will live forever."
