Appetites

How is your appetite?

Appetite – “a natural desire to satisfy a bodily need, especially for food, or a strong desire or liking for something.”

If you have worked up an appetite, you usually have a desire to eat something!

This week, I had a feeling I hadn’t had in a while…

I lost my appetite for sweet foods!

Over 1 or 2 days, I overindulged a little too much.

I’d capitulated, and there had been a weakening of my will!

Then, something just really snapped in my brain.

I felt it!

This week I have been much more disciplined.

Like Aliyah, we may all lose our appetite at times too…

Your reaction to your appetites can give you a good measure of your character.

Can you govern your appetites, or are you in bondage to something and forced to yield?

Jesus Christ referred to this duality as the spirit and the flesh.

“This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.” – Galatians 5:16

Simply stated, as we walk in the Spirit, we can and will overcome the temptations of the flesh.

The fruits of the Spirit are love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and temperance. See Galatians 5:22-23

Is there a gnawing emptiness in the pit of your stomach for the fruits of the spirit?

One way we can walk in the Spirit is to tune into the General Conference Sessions of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints this weekend.

Millions of people all around the world will be tuning in to hear from leaders of the church.

May I whet your appetite a little to tune in?

I know that General conference can help you find peace, hope, and joy through Jesus Christ.

You can learn how to strengthen your family by following Jesus Christ’s teachings, you’ll also gain a greater insight into temples and covenants.

In addition, you’ll discover how you can receive personal guidance and inspiration from God.
