I was doing some reading on Christian fasting, and I found this great quote from Methodist minister William Arthur Ward that I thought others might also be blessed by! 

 

 

 

Fast from judging others; feast on the Christ dwelling in them
Fast from emphasis on differences; feast on the unity of life
Fast from apparent darkness; feast on the reality of light
Fast from thoughts of illness; feast on the healing power of God
Fast from words that pollute; feast on words that purify
Fast from discontent; feast on gratitude
Fast from anger; feast on patience
Fast from pessimism; feast on optimism
Fast from worry; feast on divine order
Fast from complaining; feast on appreciation
Fast from unrelenting pressures; feast on unceasing prayer
Fast from hostility; feast on non-resistance
Fast from bitterness; feast on forgiveness
Fast from personal anxiety; feast on eternal truth
Fast from discouragement; feast on hope
Fast from thoughts that weaken; feast on promises that inspire
Fast from shadows of sorrow; feast on the sunlight of serenity
Fast from problems that overwhelm; feast on prayer that strengthens
