  “ And Jesus said to them, “ I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst. ” ‭‭John‬ ‭6:35‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ Everyone knows that ‘Give us our daily bread’ is not a casual prayer. And an acceptable response to the need for our daily bread often represents the bedrock of stability at homes, relationships and governance. Unfortunately, many promising homes are scattered, developing relationships are broken, and thriving government policies are corrupted because of a simple misconception about the true source of our daily bread.

Even in religious services and church fellowship activities, the number metrics matter. And whenever patronage becomes more attractive with service satisfaction records, many religious leaders in our days would be comfortable with their celebrity accolades. Whereas, Jesus quickly drew the attention of His followers to the difference between service satisfaction and soul satisfaction. While service satisfaction merely takes care of human emotional, social, material and physical needs, it is only soul satisfaction that guarantees true and eternal rest to the never-dying needs of the soul - fellowship with God...
