God, the Nourishment of the Soul

Everything works together for good, because we are made of God. No matter what happens, how it happens, or how long it takes: everything returns to God. There is no way for us to remain separated from God. There is only the illusion of temporary separation. Our free will allows us to choose anything, even that which is most cruel, but we are not capable of enduring only evil, for our spirit is nourished only by love.

Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. There is nothing that fills our heart, that nourishes our soul, like Christ. Divine love is what gives us energy to live. Far from God, we live in apathy and depression, without meaning, without strength, without expression.

If we want to have a soul full of life, full of purpose, strength, energy, and courage, we need to nourish ourselves daily with the love of God. Every day, we eat the bread that nourishes our body, but man shall not live by bread alone, but also by the bread of the spirit. Our soul needs nourishment, not only our body.

The nourishment of the soul is God; it is the unconditional and infinite love that God has for us. But we are only able to feel and receive all this love when we direct our attention toward God, when we enter into communion with God. We need to remain in the presence of God, in body, mind, soul, and spirit.

We do not wait for our body to waste away before nourishing ourselves with the food that sustains our body. Why, then, would we wait for our heart to grow dark, our will to disappear, and our pain to increase before seeking God?

Jesus wants us to have life in abundance, full of energy and in the grace of God. God must be a priority, a daily pursuit, a constant necessity, just as bathing, brushing our teeth, eating, and sleeping are. In truth, it is an even greater necessity, because in God is the life that will give you strength to do all these things and more.

God is the bread of life. God is the nourishment that fills us with the strength of life.
