When I read about recognising physical hunger and recognising emotional hunger in the publication called “Keeping in touch,” (Spring 2012), spiritual hunger came to my mind.
1. Physical Hunger.
“Physical hunger is when your body needs fuel – it’s an uncomfortable feeling in your stomach.” I am reading there.
2. Emotional Hunger.
But I am really interested in Emotional Hunger and this is what it says there about Emotional Hunger:
“EMOTIONAL HUNGER
is when you feel
a. stressed,
b. angry,
c. lonely, or
d. bored and
find yourself reaching for food to numb these uncomfortable emotions.”
I am reading there also about turning to food for comfort and suppressing emotions with food.
How do we deal with our emotions? What is a healthy way to deal with our emotions?
3. Spritual hunger.
Let us read what it says in the BIBLE, in Matthew 4:4 and let us also remember who is speaking:
“BUT HE ANSWERED AND SAID, IT IS WRITTEN, MAN SHALL NOT LIVE BY BREAD ALONE, BUT BY EVERY WORD THAT PROCEEDETH OUT OF THE MOUTH OF GOD.”
