It's widely known that correctional institutions would serve bread and water to prisoners who ended up in solitary confinement as a form of punishment due to being violent and/or unruly. Although bread or a loaf-like mixture of many foods along with water had the necessary nutrients to sustain the prisoner, the monotony of having to endure eating this three times a day, for several days or even weeks, was enough to negatively impact the prisoner's physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing.
Why do I bring this up? So often we go through life shackled and in bondage like a prisoner from low self-esteem, unprocessed emotions from traumatic childhood experiences, jealousy, envy, and unforgiveness. Through self-sabotage, we dull the pain with the temporary fix of drugs, alcohol, gambling, and promiscuity. We use these dysfunctional techniques to fill a void because we are hurt and empty.
Sharing from experience, I know this emptiness all to well. We can go our whole lives trying to fill our emptiness with the things of this world, but we will never be truly satisfied. That's why they're temporary and will always lead to trouble. The devil delights in our despair. So if you are sick and tired of being sick and tired of eating like a prisoner then I encourage you to break free from the chains of self-hate, drama, and depression!
Praise God I now know an eternal source that is the Living Bread. And if you accept Jesus Christ as your Saviour, He will sustain you so that you will never starve (John 6:35). If you believe, the Holy Spirit will dwell from within and flow like Living Water (John 4:13-14) and (John 7:37-39). I pray for your shackles to be released and for you to hunger and thirst no more.
