From my journal on fasting…
Fasting is amazing. I am hungry but underneath that hunger there is a deeper one. It’s been a long time since I felt hungry. Paraphrase that to say it’s been a long time since I last suppressed my immediate physical and emotional desires. Yet, I neglect my spiritual appetite all the time.
Why is it so easy to live without God and impossible at the same time? His mercy on my life is evident with every breath I take. Every mistake or decision where I’ve not leaned into him for guidance is not dealt with swiftly and justly – that’s mercy, too! His mercy is new every morning.
