Hey you . . . come here.

Look at me. Don’t you see me?

Oh baby, don’t I look good.

You just want to eat me with a spoon.

I’m so sweet and creamy.

Come on now. You know you want me.

I’m waiting here just for you.

All alone here by myself,

The last of my sweetness.

________

Hey you. . . come here.

I’m calling your name.

My pleasure is waiting just for you.

I’m just yours, all to yourself.

You’ll love it. Umm . . .so good.

Hey you . . . come here.

You know you want me.

It’s the holidays, you can overeat now.

Everybody else does, so it’s ok.

Don’t be so strict, relax a little.

Just one little snack won’t hurt you.

Everybody gains a little now and then.

Oh come on, I’m the last piece.

If you eat me now, no one will ever know.

It’ be our little secret, I won’t tell

Lord Jesus, HELP! I need you now.

Do you hear how that cake calls to me?

Help me resist this temptation.

Turn My eyes away from this forbidden snack.

You said that if I ask for strength and wisdom You would

provide a way of escape. HELP!

This last piece is hard to resisit.

I want it gone, never to torture me again.

Thank you, Lord, for I know You will help me.

My Child, I love you and I will provide a way of escape for you. While you drink your warm tea, focus on the warmth of My love for you. My Presence is more satisfying and sweeter than any sweetness you will find on earth. Come be with Me. Commune with Me. Allow Me to fill you with Myself.

That cake will not satisfy desire for love, for only I am the true source of love. I have come to bring you fullness of life. Overabundance of cake will only bring you abundant size and tight clothing. But I will bring you true love, true joy, and true peace. I will fill your spirit to overflowing with My love. Come to Me, My Child.

For everything in the world- the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life- comes not from the Father, but from the world. 1 John 2:16

No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide a way out so that you can endure it. 1 Corinthians 10:13

Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage. Galatians 5:1
