Who needs food? I have God.

You know, I gotta say, I probably won't eat much in heaven.

Let me explain.

I was always taught that when we get to heaven, we'll be worshiping God forever. We can eat, though we won't have to.

After contemplating food as a non-necessity, I think eating is pretty trivial actually. Although it's tasty, I don't think it'd be that important to me if I didn't need it. Especially after thinking about going just a day without food, thinking, "What if I didn't need this to survive?" it then makes me think about everything I put in my mouth and just that meditation on not needing food helps me realize that that verse is true. Man cannot live on bread alone. God's grace is much more important. I don't need food for anything more than just to keep this fragile body going. Besides communion, since I've been meditating this idea of no food, I haven't found any kind of food all that important.

I have decided that communion is important. It reminds us of God's sacrifice. Jesus' sacrifice. Am I using this amazing gift wisely? He let His son be killed. For me. Me. I'm not worth that. I'm not even worthy to be offered an alternative to hell. I should burn for eternity, but God's compassion and mercy are so great that He wants me to live even though I don't deserve it. Because communion reminds me of this totally incredible gift, one I don't deserve. No other food reminds me of this like communion does.

So...no food? That's okay. I don't need it. I need God's love. His presence in my life. Thats it.

Grace to You & Peace.
