Spiritual Obesity
Obesity has made all kinds of headlines whether they are public or private. However, the obesity I am talking about is--Spiritual Obesity.
Weighed down, hard to move about without some discomfort - struggles only the one actually living Spiritually obese truly feels.
I had been feeling so Spiritually obese recently that I just kept in prayer...contemplative prayer:
Among the things I realised is it was my 'diet'! My tastes have continued to change, more and more toward healthier choices. Those whom walk unsavory paths leave a long after bitter taste. Those I take with a grain of salt are well, too salty and 'water weight.'
I guess I am seeing where a lot of my 'empty calories' come from.
I continued changing my 'diet' and praying. Among the questions that came to me was:
"Which bread shall you eat of?"
There are a lot more pages filled and post-it notes than I have shared here though, when I take my place at the table of life here everyday, I will silently chew on the bread of Life as I ponder the 'menu' options...
I will share, I am 'exercising' in addition to thinking about what I ingest!
(Let me not forget the 'intolerance's and allergies' that don't set well)
"Don't you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit..."
