Many times the Lord allows us to go through situations that will help us to understand in a practical way what He wants to teach us in His word, what I want to tell you is that God allowed your physical hunger to give you a spiritual teaching, I liked reading your post because he reminded me that we must always bear fruit, everything we do must produce a benefit in his work. A self-analysis is always necessary at the end of our days. Thank you for reminding me that I must bear fruit. God bless you.
