Food Haven? What is a food haven? what is your food haven?
If FOOD is "ANY SUBSTANCE" to provide nutritional support in our body or even for pleasure, then a HAVEN is a shelter saving for a safety place or sanctuary.. So once you google it, the first thing that comes out if you type in FOOD HAVEN, is a website full of food recipes and nutritional articles.
of course we know food is essential in our body, however FOOD for me when I have learned the SECRET to EVERLASTING HAPPINESS OF FAITH AND DEVOTION, FOOD is GOD'S WORD..
John 6: 26-27
Jesus answered, "I tell you the truth, you are looking for me, not because you saw miraculous signs but because you ate the loaves and had your fill. Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. On him God the Father has placed his seal of approval."
No matter how you call it, this just got to be the "most addictive FREE FOOD to eat".. most of the most of nutritious, calorie-free, healthy, balanced diet ever discovered.. however discovered by few yet slowly making a big LEAP lately in my own world (some friends are turning their eyes now to know about GOD, praise GOD!)
and readers, I am not only talking about SPIRITUAL, these FOOD is also PHYSICAL..
John 6: 35
Then Jesus declared, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty. But as I told you, you have seen me and still you do not believe. All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away. For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me. And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all that he has given me, but raise them up at the last day. For my Father's will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day."
Imagine, the nutrition I am yearning on is ETERNAL LIFE.. a craving of FOOD for my own SALVATION.. how silly is that to some? anyway, this is just me.. and my blog you are reading..
As I move on, there are two food havens in my life.
Firstly, the BIBLE. I havent finished reading it though I couldnt even follow the reading plan I have set for me to follow consistently, but Im getting there and definitely craving for more.. the BIBLE is truly where HIS GLORY reigns.. From the universal creation to the downfall of Kind David, From the loving story of Ester to the adventurous life of JOnah, and of course, the loving stories and wonders of the best gift made to illuminate his greatness, THE STORY OF JESUS CHRIST on earth.
I had so many doubt on the Bible before I had this kind of craving from reading it. But even my doubts on it are being answered by its amazing verses. Its not just Biblical for me but also a Historical documentary.. I believe that whenever Im reading it, Im following MY FAMILY'S TREE, and my FATHER GOD has truly never cease to work on my brother's and sister's lives. That family tree Im talking about has made me stronger and deeper in my relationship with my Father.
Secondly, is my CHURCH. I have two church right now, however both has given me much nourishment that continuously adds up to the burning fire of my faith. Cambray Baptish church and Christ's Commission Fellowship. Now this is where I'm taking action of what I have gained from the first haven, the Bible. My church or my second food haven is what keeps me moving forward to what has been gained because this is where my purpose of serving the LORD will begin.
Both of my churches are committed to increase the number of Christian and bring them into salvation. And I truly follow that mission... by his LOVING GRACE, I was asked to join a new ministry in Cambray church to commission an International Group of Members in our Church.. Is this His loving work or not? or Should I say, Jesus has is committed too in HIS PROMISE.. Jesus promise to where HIS Kingdom is, there we are.. praising and exalting HIM.
JESUS is MY LIVING BREAD (JOhn 6: 51) and He who nourished me with love and faith to fulfill my own purpose to be with him until the end..
Certainly, my everday FOOD keeps me safe, energized, intellectual of His ways, loving and... simply put it like this.. I just want GOD'S GLORY to illuminate in my life where my brothers and sisters can see how a sinner can be transformed into a fresh loving creature like me... and share this to people who are in need of HIS LOVE.. mind you, this is really HARD to follow.. its like a diet all free of sugar yet I am loving chocolates every minute... there are times I forget too how I can follow Christ-like ways but with meditation, trust in GOD and simply, nutritions from my FOOD HAVEN.. there is nothing like it.. im all equipt of HIS HOLY SPIRIT.
a complete diet of life.. just TO SIMPLY, serve my purpose in life.. giving him back all the gratitude needed (worthy of our praise) that He has chosen me to experience His creation..
Once u discover this kind of free food, you are now in w an amazing journey or ur life. Jesus is just waiting for us.. To look after our nourishing eternal life..
Psalm 119:11
I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.
next time you think about FOOD.. let it be HIS FOOD that doesnt spoil and last.. and you think about HAVEN.. let it be HIS KINGDOM where its all free and full of love.. hope your next food haven is FOR YOUR OWN LIFE SALVATION..
All of these belongs to my FATHER.. and to HIS faithful LOVE and GLORY I will serve and follow.. in Jesus Name..
