The young man saith
unto Him [Jesus], All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I
yet? Mark 10: 20
I was sitting in
church and the minister read this passage. This is when the rich man came to
talk to Jesus about what he needed to do yet to inherit eternal life. Jesus
told him to follow the commandments and the man basically said, “I’ve nailed
that one! I’ve done all those from my childhood.”
Jesus said unto
him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor,
and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow Me. But when the young man heard that saying, he
went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions. Mark 10: 21-22
Have I become a Possessed Christian too attached to possessions and food that work a wedge in my relationship with Christ? Am I willing to give up foods that I crave? Am I willing to give them to the less fortunate? Am I willing to give up things that work a wedge in my relationship with Christ? It seems that I let possessions, including food possess me.
The moment that I'm asked to do something for the Lord that is out of my comfort zone, i head for the hills just like the rich man who left because he had too many possessions and couldn't part with them. I want to be willing to give up unhealthy eating and possessions that control me.

Since this is an example of the positive influence God has made on my walk with Christ, this may not reflect the whole meaning of the Bible verses.
