I'm hungry...

So we are near the end of our 40 day fast and its been amazing! Someone asked me if I was really hungry from fasting so long (although there were several days that the fast was broken) and I said yes. I am hungry. In fact, I'm very hungry, but not for the things that I once was hungry for. I've found that as I've spent time with God my appetite has changed. See, its like people who stop eating fast food. You go so long without it that even the thought of it makes you sick. What you once found very tasty & satisfying you now find utterly gross & disgusting, not to mention extremely unhealthy.

I've found that my appetite has changed. My diet can't go back to being what it once was, it must continue to be transformed by God. No, what I eat, although I believe that God is changing my actually eating habits, but the things I put into my body & mind.

Phil. 3:7 - 11 -7 But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. 8 What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ 9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ--the righteousness that comes from God and is by faith. 10 I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death,11 and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead.

As I get closer to Christ I realize how much I need him.
