A Meditation: Jesus as Comfort Food

I am Life. I am bread.
I am Heavenly food. Buttered croissant.
I am Comfort Food.
I give Peace. Not like you get anywhere else.
Deep Peace. Pure Peace, that can cut by a sword,
But lasting Peace.
Enter my Peace.
I am mashed potatoes, with chicken gravy.
I am buttered biscuit, hot from the oven,
With blackberry jam.
Take up your cross, and follow.

I am Life. Abundant, joyful, life.
Fulfilling. Lasting. Exuberant.
Sit at my table, and have your fill.

I am blueberry scone, with clotted cream.
I am warm peach cobbler, with vanilla ice cream. I am éclair.
I am macaroni and cheese, and not from a box. I am apple pie a la mode.
Taste, and see that I am good.

I am rich, bread pudding with warm, hard sauce.
Don’t be afraid. Enter the banquet hall.
No, move up higher, my honored friend.
I am steaming hot chocolate with melting marshmallow.
I am coconut cream pie with meringue.

I am water, that flows and lives,
Deep, cold, refreshing water that cleanses and purifies and slakes thirst forever.
Refreshing water. Life-giving water.
Do not be afraid. Come into my water. Live with me and in me.

I am Life. Little children, love one another.
Do not be afraind.
Forgive one another—you will be safe.
You will be saved.
I am your life.

I am brownie in fudge sauce.
I am eggs cooked just as you like them—
With bacon and hashed browns AND grits.
I am cold milk and cookies with chocolate chips.
I am lemon meringue pie.

I am Light. Piercing Light. Illuminating.
I brighten every corner and expose every lie.
I am radiant, revealing, warming, healing.
Come, little ones, into my Light.
I am café latte, with cinnamon roll
I am tea, with milk, and lemon squares.
I am black bottom pie.

I am light Belgian waffle, with real maple syrup
I am pizza with your choice of toppings—extra cheese.
I am French fried potatoes, and onion rings.
I am ketchup.
I am chicken soup.
I give comfort and well-being
Come, I will eat at your table,
And you will be filled.

Little ones, are you tired? Do you hunger and thirst?
Have some breakfast with me.
I am omelet, with ham and cheese, and onion.
I am sourdough toast. I am coffee with cream.
I am hot, fresh-baked cornbread, with brown beans and ham.
I am chicken and dumplings.
I am Mississippi Mud Pie.
Sit at my table.
Sit next to the one who has wronged you the most.
Forgive.
Have more gravy,
And pass the peas.

I am.
