Some people feed their body & lose their soul, such as the rich man in the
Bible who stuffed his barns full of grain. God said to him, "Thou fool, this
night shall thy soul be required of thee: Then whose shall all those things
be?" (Lk.12:16-21) Having a full stomach & a full purse & a full head cannot
give you a full heart. In fact, if you put the desires of the flesh above
the needs of your spirit, then you will find that nothing ever satisfies!
You will become as the world-famed poet, Lord Byron, who despaired at the
height of his fame, "I have drunk of every fount of pleasure & quaffed every
cup of fame, yet, alas, I die of thirst !"
