Lenten Thoughts (Day 22): What satisfies you?

"The disciples were urging him, ‘Rabbi, do have something to eat; but he said, ‘I have food to eat that you do not know about.’ So the disciples asked one another, ‘Has someone been bringing him food?’ But Jesus said: ‘My food is to do the will of the one who sent me, and to complete his work'. - John 4:31-34

Jesus shows a great reason for giving up food. He once again is the great example to follow. The question we must ask ourselves is: when I give up food or chocolate or TV, am I feasting on the greatest thing - am I "[doing] the will" of God? Does doing God's will fill me up?
