ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS

 Romans 15:13 (NLT)  I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit.
Tired of feeling empty and reaching for goals that were created out of frustration, hurt or rejection? It's time to try something new.

We may often find ourselves indulging in things that only temporarily satisfy our needs and desires. This is what I refer to as artificial sweeteners. We cheat ourselves with the use of these fillers in various areas of life. Giving the wrong people or things permission and power to occupy space in our lives inevitably creates a lack of availability to receive what God has for us. We become artificially full with their sweetness, that there is no room for the main course which ultimately provides the nourishment we need for a healthy life.

Most decisions come from a place of vulnerability and insecurities in our current situation or in those things which are temporal. We settle for a mere appetizer for fear of not finding the life for which we truly hunger and thirst after. The life that you long for is available to you when you let go of what you think is for you....or not for you. Begin to feast on those things that will bring forth your ultimate growth rather than snacking on people, situations or self-doubt that will only stunt your full development.

Don't spend another moment of your life filling up on artificial sweeteners when you were created to get full off of life.
