Many of us find a “go to” when we’re sad or lonely or discouraged. For me, personally, food has been my too-often go-to, much to the detriment of my physical (and spiritual!) health.

He is the only true Fulfiller and Life Giver. His ways lead to joy and satisfaction; everything else still leaves me empty. If you’re battling a “filler” that still leaves you empty, I pray you’ll turn instead to the One who wants to be your Comforter and Completer. In Him we find life.
