Another form of fasting is Spiritual Fasting, meaning that we make sacrifice for something that we like or love too much.
The seed of Sin is The attachment to something/someone.
When we too attached to money, we will put the money as our priority.
When we too attached to our hobby, we will put our hobby as priority.
When we too attached to our spouse, we will put our spouse as top priority before God
When we too attached to ourselves, we will put ourselves as the main actor, hungry for self recognition, etc.
This is where the evil slowly creeps in and destroys us.
At first, it looks pleasing and good and nothing's wrong with that. But after it enters deeper and deeper to the core of our heart, we will be bonded, and feel self emptiness.
To break free from that, we need to do detachment..
We let go our attachment to money, hobby, spouse, and even ourselves.
It's really not easy, even myself, my biggest weakness is pride. I always been tempted here and there.
But again, this is the time that we need God's grace to help us to detach from all those things that are not really matter to God.
By detaching, we make small death, self denial, self sacrifice so that we could have a true life, true joy, true peace and happiness in Jesus Christ.
And in the end, we could encounter Heaven on Earth.
