And if you have godly reasons for being on this walk of the Spirit, He will finish it, He surely will, but in HIS timing and purposes and results. SIDENOTES: HOW DID IT HAPPEN? There are so MANY reasons for food compulsion including the generational one of mothers expressing their love with food, a nightly FEAST of food, an abundance that starving Americans during the Great Depression could only dream of. Those dreams crashed into the industrial reality of chemically altered foods and our dreams avalanched into our nightmare: equating food with love and provided an empty substitute. It’s the ultimate "looking for love in all the wrong places" buried so deep within our childhoods that we can’t understand where it’s coming from or how to combat it. And who would imagine that we need to combat the loving hand of our moms, comforting us, caring for us…15 years of trusting mom’s love since before the understanding of time and memory has been a difficult foe, hasn’t it? And so Americans fail and fail again at resisting the flavors they crave because it represents the unconditional and complete love of most moms. Some of us have outwardly reached success by reprogramming our minds. Nutrition has become their all consuming passion but the energy and effort is a neurosis in itself without rest. Some reach it temporarily only to fall back and self-condemn in a defeated pit, drowning in despair. How did mom’s love become so toxic? Add a few personal reasons that we’ve picked up since birth and we find ourselves lost and confused, trapped in what feels like a prison of self-destruction and self-loathing, doomed to fail at our next attempt to lose weight. The extremes that we go through to change our behavior is a billion dollar industry and we spiral down grasping at diet drinks and sugar substitutes while MSG is pumped into our foods under different names, a chemical used to make mice FAT so they can figure out how to make them thin again. We are fed that under the guise of dozens of different labels and so many processed foods purposely make us fat. We are SO set up! And the enemy merely has to stir the coals a little to fan the flames of our despair. Meanwhile, the Father of Life, the Alpha and the Omega, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords stands near. He knows and understands us better than we understand ourselves and His heart is ever towards us. "Here I am, come to Me, lay down your burdens and come." Some of us have visited Him for a bit, some have cried out to Him weeping in despair, some of us actually know Him but skim over some of the all-important truths about Him, which is His unbelievable depth of love for you. Check yourself…even now, are you thinking, "yeah yeah, God loves me, I’ve heard that before." A deep and intimate relationship with God is what breaks us out of all prisons. More than that, it’s the ultimate reason of our existence. Without Him, all roads become snares eventually. Look at any lifestyle and follow it to it’s completion, in the twilight years of the elderly, who are the joy filled? How is the athlete doing in his 80’s and 90’s? How popular is the geriatric beauty queen? Take any measure of success and follow it to his or her last years, where do we find fulfillment? Is it the grandmother surrounded by family? Absolutely. But how does she feel when the holiday is over and everyone goes home? Is she alone, or has she found the ever increasing love and fulfillment that only Christ brings? Love and fulfillment. We look for it in husbands and wives, in competition and sports, in empty [decadent food] cartons. Needle or spoon, they are all empty substitutes for the love of God, the water that (how did Jesus put it) the water that you will cause you to never thirst again. "Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good; |
God understands us even when we don’t understand ourselves. He was there through our whole childhood. He saw how we were molded and shaped, from the smallest slight to complete devastation, God saw it all. He remembers, He is the keeper of all memory and He knows every tear. Nothing is wasted, nothing is too small for God’s notice. Scriptures tell us that He even knows the number of hairs on our heads. Think about that. He’s even aware if you lose an eyelash…do you love anyone so much that you care if they lose an eyelash?
Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans 8:39)
"Yeah, yeah, God loves me…let’s move on." Really?
Why do we avoid focusing on God’s love so much? We run from it. He stands with His arms open wide and few of us really focus on Who He is. I don’t know how to describe how I feel about my sons and "magic" is not a good Biblical word, but there Is something magical about every molecule of my sons. It’s hard to see their flaws because I’m so blinded by who they are and have always been…so it is with God only moreso. Except God sees truth, He is righteous, He is holy, He sees it all and is the ultimate Judge of all. Maybe that’s why we run, we don’t want to be judged. We know we are flawed, we know we’ve done wrong for we all have. We know we are selfish, even the most generous among us don’t give away everything as Jesus did and walk around homeless with no where to lay our heads. We are all first concerned with our own comfort and safety before we turn to charity with few exceptions. That’s selfishness and we’re all guilty. To be judged for that and so much more doesn’t really appeal, does it? But the Bible says that’s why God came down in the flesh.
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God… and the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth." (John 1:1; 14)
Jesus purchased us with His own blood, our sins are not only forgiven, they’re forgotten as far as the east is from the west. How far is that? The distance continually expands for all time.
If you want to be rid of that food compulsion, you have probably realized you need to replace it with what satisfies. That emptiness that we feel WILL NOT be ignored, and all of mankind finds a neverending list of different ideas to try to fill it with. Some might seem to fill the void for a short time, but again, who is the joyfilled during their sunset years? Who has invested in what lasts? Who has discovered the keys to the prison doors and been set free?
God bless you in your efforts and in revealing to you the Truth of Who He is and how He feels about you TODAY. Because when you have that and your heart explodes in response, that’s the real victory.
