(taken from the knowledge of the holy, by a.w. tozer)

"the man who comes to a right belief about God is relieved of ten thousand temporal problems, for he sees at once that these have to do with matters which at the most cannot concern him for very long; but even if the multiple burdens of time may be lifted from him, the one mighty single burden  of eternity begins to press down upon him with a weight more crushing than all the woes of the world piled upon one another.  that mighty burden is his obligation to God.  it includes an instant and lifelong duty to love God with every power of mind and soul, to obey Him perfectly, and to worship Him acceptably.  and when the man's laboring conscience tells him that he has done none of these things, but has from childhood been guilty of foul revolt against the Majesty in the heavens, the inner pressure of self-accusation may become too heavy to bear.
the gospel can lift this destroying burden from the mind, give beauty for ashes, and the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness.  but unless the weight of the burden is felt the gospel can mean nothing to the man; and until he sees a vision of God high and lifted up, there will be no woe and no burden.  low views of God destroy the gospel for all who hold them."

reasons fasting is beautiful and helps us see Jesus:
(specifically, fasting from food here)
it reminds us that we are human.  not the Savior, not super-human, not invincible, but human.
it is a physical reminder, through stomach pangs, of the need to be filled that can be beautifully turned, for the day, to a constant physical reminder of our need for Jesus.
it reminds us of our dependence, and of His great faithfulness to provide our needs, and to fill us.  it reminds me that i am dust.
it is a good practice to know what it means to be in hunger, i think.  if even for a day.

^ thanks for this awesome pic, ariel. ^
^ i love judah & the lion, so since sunday when my sister told me judah lee had a new worsh album and it was incredible, i've been aaaalllll about it.  i wish there were other words besides beautiful or incredible or spectacular that could convey how highly i think of this album and how much it has meant to me.
​
​ it was suuuuuper difficult for me to pick just one.  so you should just listen to the whole album.  and then again.
