Starved

We‘re consuming, we‘re filling up, we‘re taking in, but at the end of the day, our souls are still starving. So many of us feel dissatisfied and empty―emotionally; physically, and even spiritually. Our lives are rushed, overflowing, and we‘re low on joy, fulfillment, peace, and purpose. In our spare moments, we turn to our phones, social media, and a million other little things, desperate for relief, but over time, these distractions become an unhealthy diet for our souls―uplifting us for a moment but ultimately denying us the nourishment we need. When we overconsume these imposters that promise a temporary boost but actually leave us weak and weary, we become anxious, fearful, and depleted. These addicting substitutes keep us coming back for more, never providing satisfaction. But there is hope. We don‘t have to stay stuck and malnourished. We can become free of shame, disappointment, and anxiety.
