Fun and pleasure in this world is like eating candy when you’re hungry.

It tastes sweet to the tongue and it can maybe even ease your hunger. It is yummy to eat and gets you hyper. Even though you know it is bad for you, you eat it. After you eat it, you don’t feel very good. Candy is bad for you in large amounts, it’s the exact opposite of what your body needs. After you eat enough it gets you sick. It doesn’t satisfy your hunger. When you’re hungry you need to eat, and if you’re lazy you’ll just eat candy and the more you eat it, the more ill you feel.

The hunger that everyone feels in life is real and true. Much like everyone NEEDS food in order to survive and live, everyone NEEDS Jesus in their lives. Yet we attempt to fill our hunger with the things of this world. We think having fun, attaining many friends, being sexually impure, drinking, and smoking will satisfy us but anybody who has indulged in this lifestyle will tell you they are NOT HAPPY and NOT SATISFIED with their life. It only lasts for so long before you become empty. Life becomes shallow and purposeless. If you are hungry and thirsty, don’t turn to the unsatisfying and detrimental pleasures of this world. Turn to GOD who will fulfill your heart eternally.

“And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst…. I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.” John 6:35-51
