Europe was overwhelmed with hungry, homeless, orphaned
children after WWII. Large camps were
created to house and feed the children, but the caregivers noticed that they
were anxious and fearful which resulted in sleepless nights. Finally, a psychologist resolved the issue by
instructing the caregivers to give each child a piece of bread after they were
put to bed. The bread was NOT placed in
their mouth, but in their hand and the results were astounding!
The children slept all through the night because the bread gave
them a sense of security (they were safe), significance (somebody cared), and
satisfaction (there was bread for tomorrow).
We need these things also and Jesus has proclaimed that he is the “Bread
of Life” who satisfies the spiritual
hunger of the human heart and the
eternal hunger of the human soul.
