Every February, across the country, candy, flowers, and gifts are exchanged between loved ones, all in the name of Love.
Recently, I read a testimony of sugar’s lovers, and I found it kind of funny; he said that as a single adult, he was hungry for love and searched repeatedly to find a woman to fulfill him. Every new romance that he entered felt like a chocolate sugar high, with soaring emotions, exhilarating self-esteem boosts, and a sweet sense of security.
He also said “In the headiness of romantic rapture, my heart thought that a woman could fulfill me forever. Nevertheless, the euphoria inevitably collapsed. Sometimes, it took weeks. Other times, it took months. My wife's happiness vanished after a year of dating and seven months of marriage.” Then I kept reading about how “Sugar makes you feel Happy”; and I was really amazed how people associate sugar as anti-depression.
The poll showed the following:
| What food seems to make you happier? | | Chocolate | 44% | | Homemade soup | 14% | | Food doesn't affect my mood. | 14% | | Macaroni and cheese | 11% | | Whipped potatoes | 9% | | Salmon | 6% | | Walnuts | 2% | | Herring | 1% |
They explained some scientist reason associate with sugar; they mentioned that natural substances found in certain foods work as well as prescription antidepressants at preventing depression and making you feel happy, according to researchers from Harvard-affiliated McLean Hospital in Belmont, Mass.
It’s important to recognize that many of us eat, sugar or regular food, as an emotional reaction. They is nothing wrong with food, the problem is the absent of self-control.
Emotion and food! Never mix it up
It’s never going to satisfy your real needs, and is going to drag you into a circle that is hard to get out. If you have a problem there is just one thing you NEED to do…PRAY. Just before Jesus when to Calvary; he said to his disciple "My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me." (Every time I read this verse, I cry) Now this is my question, how big is your problem? Are you going to be blamed, crucified and tortured? The Bible says there is nothing new on the earth; whatever you are going through Christ already took that way… He was tempted in all and with no sin! In that emotional stage, Jesus, took the best decision “he fell with his face to the ground and prayed”. He didn’t eat chocolate; there is not enough sugar to calm that sorrow! Jesus didn't feel some emotional sensation when He chose to die for use but that was the greatest demonstration of God's kind of love that the world has ever seen. He made a choice in spite of His emotions. Because He was consumed with God's love, He acted properly, even when His emotions didn't agree.
Love is not a day! And praise the Lord we all know that. God is love! God's kind of love is not self-serving or self-seeking. Agape love will cause a person to lay down his life for another (Jn. 15:13), because he has literally forgotten himself.
God's type of love involves emotions many times, but it is not an emotion. It is an act of the will. We can choose to love even when we don't feel like it and we can always conduct ourselves in a godly manner, when we feel God's kind of love. God's kind of love is a choice.
God's kind of love is also the antidote to selfishness and pride. We cannot conquer self by focusing on self. The only way to win over self is to fall in love with God more than with ourselves. It is in discovering God's love that we lose self love.
Jesus is the ultimate example of God's kind of love. |
