Prader Willi Syndrome

There is a genetic disease call Prader Willi Syndrome that affects hundreds of children and adults. The individual’s hunger is never satisfied leading to dangerous obesity. The food compulsion and learning disabilities requires the person be constantly supervised. Though the person has a sweet disposition, the drive for food eventually negatively affects their behavior.

The spiritual comparison is called envy. In the natural, we never have enough but continually crave more possessions; more talent; more money. The list of our wants can be endless pushing us toward dangerous carnal obesity.

The craving or our souls will never cease, so how do we put away envy?

We put it away be giving our souls the only thing that can keep up with our desires…

God.

Seek him with all your energy. Revel in the truth of his love and presence. Medicate your sorrows with the knowledge of his power. Revive yourself in the richness of his promises that he is at work in your particular life and circumstance.

Fill yourself up with God.
