Most things in life survive with the nutrition they get from ingesting food. Everything we take into our nervous system either acts to heal us or to destroy us. We must therefore ensure that we consider consuming those with the potentials for providing healing and reject every other. Do not think of nourishment only as what we take in through our mouths. What we consume with our eyes, our ears, our noses, our tongues, and our bodies also constitute the nutrients we feed on.
Reasonable contribution and inputs that we occasionally deliver during the conversations we engage ourselves in on daily basis can only be possible by feeding on enriching and nourishing nutrients. We are not expected to neglect consistent consumption of healthy food both emotionally, physically and spiritually because they help in making us modern versions of the mind edifice that guarantees the indemnification of moral sanctity. Think about it this way. If moral sanctity blossom, the society will be filled with motivational encouragements that can gear minds towards the actualization of good success. Tender minds will be groomed in this perspective. When we speak, we will be conscious of feeding hearers with gracious words.
We will no longer speak and act in a way that causes tension and anger but rather we will be nourishing and nurturing the smooth and successful transition from suffering to abundant supply of God's sufficiency. We will often enjoy the benefits that emanates from ingesting and understanding fruitful communications especially from those transpiring around us and from what we watch and read. They become more interesting when they communicate the compassion of Christ Jesus.
If this occurs, then we have good food to feed upon. More often than none, we will no longer ingest communication that makes us feel bad or insecure about ourselves or judgmental and superior to others but rather we will consistently ingest communication that makes us feel confident and secured in the subsistence of the God that created the universe. We can think about our communication as terms of nourishment and consumptions of potentially positive contents. The Internet is an item of consumption, full of nutrients that are both rich in healing and toxic content. It is so easy to ingest a lot in just a few minutes online.
This does not mean you should not use the Internet, but you should be wise enough to focus your attention on contents that position the mind for greatness either by way of reading or watching. When you work with your computer for three or four hours, you should also consider incorporating the study of God's word into your grand scheme of things. When you do this, you will not be lost. It is like eating fruits which act as catalyst to digestion after food. You should not eat food without considering ingestion of fruits.
A conscious study of the word of God at regular intervals will prove to be more profitable than you ever can imagine. It will further furnish what you read and write with the understanding that can help you heal. So be thoughtful about what you consume. When you write an e-mail or a letter, if it is filled with the understanding and compassion of Christ which will eventually be nourishing to you during the time you write it, be rest assured that the satisfaction you will derive from it will not be short lived. Everything you try to communicate especially those that tend to magnify Christ Jesus, will contribute to an eternal hope in Heaven with God.
