Feeding Your Soul

We can learn a lot by contrasts. For example, the life-span of a poorly made product compared to one of good quality; the outcomes of a good choice versus a bad one; the performance of a well-maintained vehicle and one neglected. "The human heart, apart from Your love, will drink itself to ruin on the wine of unholy communions." (Every Moment Holy, Vol II). If we embrace the ideology "we are what we eat" in the physical sense, oh so much more we should embrace it spiritually! What we feed our mind, soul, spirit, heart will ultimately reveal itself in us: hate or love, envy or contentment, fear or trust, prejudice or justice, pride or humility, rage or peace, etc. When we feast on the brokenness of this world, we can expect an ugliness that festers and wounds us and others. Jesus said, "It is The [Holy] Spirit Who gives life; the flesh is no help at all. The words that I have spoken to you are Spirit and Life." (John 6:63). Do not be deceived: our souls are being fed continually. On what is your soul feeding?
