Fasting and Feasting

I’m going to try to fast today.
I’m not doing it to lose weight, Although I know I need to lose weight.
I’m fasting because I’m hungry.
The starvation I feel is within my shrivelled spirit.
My soul is as empty as my stomach is full.
The pangs of my physical hunger remind me of my stronger need.
Until I am fed by God’s own Spirit, I will always be hungry.
So I’m going to try to feast today…
At a table spread with love and peace.
