DAY FIFTY SEVEN ~ MEETING FIFTY SEVEN
SOOTHERS
The meeting today had a topic from Voices of Recovery, February 13. It said:
"Those who are prone to stuff themselves with food that makes their bodies unsightly are refusing the food that satisfies and soothes the unhappy soul within."
I have this huge hunger for God right now. He is the hunger that satisfies and soothes the unhappy soul within. He lives inside of me and comforts me as long as I keep my relationship with Him alive and well. Food is not going to satisfy any need that I feel or solve any emotional difficulty. God can and will if I let Him.
No matter how much my mind tells me that food will not help any situation but only make it worse, I have times when I give in. Last night was one of them. I walked my butt over to the store knowing exactly what I was doing, came home and ate every last bite of every food I bought that I shouldn't have had. I cannot make excuses, because there are none. The only acceptable one is that I did not turn to God first and I know better than that. He is the hunger that feeds my soul. I only need food to sustain me physically, not emotionally.
Until tomorrow ~
I'm Kim
