SECRET BAGGAGE (Part 3) • ”Starvation” • Barry Bandara

• This Series: Each of us has unresolved issues that we carry around. In a word, it’s called baggage. Although you do your best to ignore it, conceal it, or fake it, your baggage burdens your life while slowly squeezing out hope for your future. Before passing your baggage on to your children, let’s unpack this dead weight so you can begin living a life of freedom that God desires for you.

 

• This Week: Starvation is being deprived of unconditional love and emotional nourishment. It’s growing up where love, acceptance, worth, and security wasn’t given freely or unconditionally. It’s also where there is malnourishment with appropriate physical touch. As a result, one will be on a desperate search for what is lacking, often with foolish appetites; where what is bitter will taste sweet. Thankfully, God can provide us the proper nourishment we need to live a fulfilling life of deep satisfaction.

 

Key Phrase: “but to the hungry even what is bitter tastes sweet.” Proverbs 27:7
